bs58
====
[](https://travis-ci.org/cryptocoinjs/bs58)
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](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bs58check), which depends upon this library.
Install
-------
npm i --save bs58
API
---
### encode(input)
`input` must be a `Uint8Array`, `Buffer`, or an `Array`. It returns a `string`.
**example**:
```js
const bs58 = require('bs58')
const bytes = Uint8Array.from([
0, 60, 23, 110, 101, 155, 234,
15, 41, 163, 233, 191, 120, 128,
193, 18, 177, 179, 27, 77, 200,
38, 38, 129, 135
])
const address = bs58.encode(bytes)
console.log(address)
// => 16UjcYNBG9GTK4uq2f7yYEbuifqCzoLMGS
```
### decode(input)
`input` must be a base 58 encoded string. Returns a Uint8Array.
**example**:
```js
const bs58 = require('bs58')
const address = '16UjcYNBG9GTK4uq2f7yYEbuifqCzoLMGS'
const bytes = bs58.decode(address)
// See uint8array-tools package for helpful hex encoding/decoding/compare tools
console.log(Buffer.from(bytes).toString('hex'))
// => 003c176e659bea0f29a3e9bf7880c112b1b31b4dc826268187
```
Browser
-----------
You can use this module in the browser. Install Browserify:
```bash
npm install -g browserify
```
then run:
```bash
browserify node_modules/bs58/index.js -o bs58.bundle.js --standalone bs58
```
Hack / Test
