Signing a packed transaction.
import sign_packed_txn from "eos-ecc/sign_packed_txn.mjs";
sign_packed_txn({
chain_id: "2a02a0053…",
transaction_header: "fa123232…",
transaction_body: "fa45ffa2…",
wif_private_key: "5f…",
}).then(console.log);
The logged output will be SIG_K1_…
An example of creating new pair of crypto keys.
import new_keys from "eos-ecc/new_keys.mjs";

The logged output will be an object containing PUB_K1 and PVT_K1 wif keys.
Recover public key from signature.
import recover_public_key from "eos-ecc/recover_public_key.mjs";

Ways to require in CJS
Note
As this package is ESM if you need to require it in a Common JS package, then you can require like this:
(async function () {
const { default: new_keys } = await import("eos-ecc/new_keys.mjs");
const key_pair = await new_keys();
console.log(key_pair);
})();
the logged output was: { public_key: PUB_K1_6…, private_key: PVT_K1_ge…}
