CashAddr

Utility to convert between base58 and CashAddr BCH addresses.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cash-addr'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cash-addr

Usage

To convert from a legacy address to CashAddr:

CashAddr::Converter.to_cash_address('mmRH4e9WW4ekZUP5HvBScfUyaSUjfQRyvD')

To convert from a CashAddr address to legacy:

CashAddr::Converter.to_legacy_address('bchtest:qpqtmmfpw79thzq5z7s0spcd87uhn6d34uqqem83hf')

To validate a BCH address:

CashAddr::Converter.is_valid?('bchtest:qpqtmmfpw79thzq5z7s0spcd87uhn6d34uqqem83hf')

To display a BCH CashAddr address without the prefix:

CashAddr::Converter.display_address('bchtest:qpqtmmfpw79thzq5z7s0spcd87uhn6d34uqqem83hf')

NOTE: Testnet addresses are used as examples, but both testnet and mainnet are supported.
