API

const assert = require('assert')
const {suggest, validSeed} = require('bip39-checker')
const {randomMnemonicSeed, mnemonicToSeed} = require('bip39-seeder')

randomMnemonicSeed(null, seed => {

    assert(validSeed(seed))

    // Strengthen the seed by 11 bits
    const stretched = mnemonicToSeed(seed)
    assert(stretched.toString('hex'))
    assert.equal(stretched.length, 64)
    // By convention:
    //  stretched.slice(0, 32) is the private key or HD master private key, etc..
    //  stretched.I.slice(32) may be used for something else like an initialization vector, chain code, etc..
