bs58check

Encoding

This feature allows you to encode a buffer of data into a Base58Check encoded string. The encoded string includes a checksum to help detect errors.

const bs58check = require('bs58check');
const data = Buffer.from('Hello, world!');
const encoded = bs58check.encode(data);
console.log(encoded); // Outputs the Base58Check encoded string

Decoding

This feature allows you to decode a Base58Check encoded string back into its original buffer of data. The checksum is verified during the decoding process to ensure data integrity.

const bs58check = require('bs58check');
const encoded = '3vQB7B6MrGQZaxCuFg4oh';
const decoded = bs58check.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded.toString()); // Outputs the original data

Encoding with Error Handling

This feature demonstrates how to handle errors during the encoding process. If the encoding fails for any reason, an error will be caught and logged.

const bs58check = require('bs58check');
try {
  const data = Buffer.from('Hello, world!');
  const encoded = bs58check.encode(data);
  console.log(encoded); // Outputs the Base58Check encoded string
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Encoding failed:', error);
}

Decoding with Error Handling

This feature demonstrates how to handle errors during the decoding process. If the decoding fails due to an invalid checksum or other issues, an error will be caught and logged.

const bs58check = require('bs58check');
try {
  const encoded = '3vQB7B6MrGQZaxCuFg4oh';
  const decoded = bs58check.decode(encoded);
  console.log(decoded.toString()); // Outputs the original data
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Decoding failed:', error);
}
