tea.xyz Spam Plagues npm and RubyGems Package Registries
Tea.xyz, a crypto project aimed at rewarding open source contributions, is once again facing backlash due to an influx of spam packages flooding public package registries.
@solana/addresses
Advanced tools
Readme
This package contains utilities for generating account addresses. It can be used standalone, but it is also exported as part of the Solana JavaScript SDK @solana/web3.js@experimental
.
Base58EncodedAddress
This type represents a string that validates as a Solana address. Functions that require well-formed addresses should specify their inputs in terms of this type.
Whenever you need to validate an arbitrary string as a base58-encoded address, use the assertIsBase58EncodedAddress()
function in this package.
assertIsBase58EncodedAddress()
Client applications primarily deal with addresses and public keys in the form of base58-encoded strings. Addresses returned from the RPC API conform to the type Base58EncodedAddress
. You can use a value of that type wherever a base58-encoded address is expected.
From time to time you might acquire a string, that you expect to validate as an address, from an untrusted network API or user input. To assert that such an arbitrary string is a base58-encoded address, use the assertIsBase58EncodedAddress
function.
import { assertIsBase58EncodedAddress } from '@solana/addresses';
// Imagine a function that fetches an account's balance when a user submits a form.
function handleSubmit() {
// We know only that what the user typed conforms to the `string` type.
const address: string = accountAddressInput.value;
try {
// If this type assertion function doesn't throw, then
// Typescript will upcast `address` to `Base58EncodedAddress`.
assertIsBase58EncodedAddress(address);
// At this point, `address` is a `Base58EncodedAddress` that can be used with the RPC.
const balanceInLamports = await rpc.getBalance(address).send();
} catch (e) {
// `address` turned out not to be a base58-encoded address
}
}
getBase58EncodedAddressFromPublicKey()
Given a public CryptoKey
, this method will return its associated Base58EncodedAddress
.
import { getBase58EncodedAddressFromPublicKey } from '@solana/addresses';
const address = await getBase58EncodedAddressFromPublicKey(publicKey);
getProgramDerivedAddress()
Given a program's Base58EncodedAddress
and up to 16 Seeds
, this method will return the program derived address (PDA) associated with each.
import { getBase58EncodedAddressCodec, getProgramDerivedAddress } from '@solana/addresses';
const { serialize } = getBase58EncodedAddressCodec();
const { bumpSeed, pda } = await getProgramDerivedAddress({
programAddress: 'ATokenGPvbdGVxr1b2hvZbsiqW5xWH25efTNsLJA8knL' as Base58EncodedAddress,
seeds: [
// Owner
serialize('9fYLFVoVqwH37C3dyPi6cpeobfbQ2jtLpN5HgAYDDdkm' as Base58EncodedAddress),
// Token program
serialize('TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA' as Base58EncodedAddress),
// Mint
serialize('EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v' as Base58EncodedAddress),
],
});
