hypercore-id-encoding

hypercore-id-encoding

Encodes Hypercore keys into z-base32 ids, and decodes both hex/z-base32 strings.

npm install hypercore-id-encoding

Usage

const { encode, decode } = require('hypercore-id-encoding')

const id = encode(core.key) // (z-base32 String)
const hexEncoded = core.key.toString('hex')

const core = new Hypercore(ram, decode(id)) 
const core2 = new Hypercore(ram, decode(hexEncoded)) // Will also work with hex

API

const id = encode(hypercoreKey)

Encodes a 32-byte Hypercore key into a z-base32 id.

hypercoreKey must be a Buffer or an ArrayBuffer.

const buf = decode(hypercoreId)

Decodes an id into a Hypercore key.

hypercoreId must be a String.

If hypercoreId is a 52-character String, it will be decoded as z-base32.

If hypercoreId is a 64-character String, it will be decoded as hex.
