What are @walletconnect/utils's main functionalities?

Encoding and Decoding

This feature allows you to encode and decode data, which is useful for transmitting data securely between clients and servers.

const { encode, decode } = require('@walletconnect/utils');

const data = 'Hello, WalletConnect!';
const encodedData = encode(data);
const decodedData = decode(encodedData);

console.log(encodedData); // Encoded data
console.log(decodedData); // 'Hello, WalletConnect!'

Hex Conversion

This feature provides functions to convert numbers to hexadecimal strings and vice versa, which is often needed in blockchain and cryptographic applications.

const { toHex, fromHex } = require('@walletconnect/utils');

const number = 255;
const hexString = toHex(number);
const numberFromHex = fromHex(hexString);

console.log(hexString); // '0xff'
console.log(numberFromHex); // 255

Random Bytes Generation

This feature allows you to generate random bytes, which can be used for creating secure keys or nonces.

const { generateRandomBytes } = require('@walletconnect/utils');

const randomBytes = generateRandomBytes(16);

console.log(randomBytes); // Random 16 bytes
