Package Exports
- b58
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (b58) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
b58
JavaScript component to compute base 58 encoding. This encoding is typically used for crypto currencies such as Bitcoin.
Note: If you're looking for base 58 check encoding, see: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bs58check, which depends upon this library.
Install
npm i --save b58API
encode(input)
input must be a Buffer or an Array. It returns a string.

const bytes = Buffer.from('003c176e659bea0f29a3e9bf7880c112b1b31b4dc826268187', 'hex')
const address = b58.encode(bytes)
console.log(address)
// => 16UjcYNBG9GTK4uq2f7yYEbuifqCzoLMGSdecode(input)
