MartexcoinJS (bitcoinjs-lib)

The pure JavaScript Martexcoin library for node.js and browsers. Used by over a million wallet users and the backbone for almost all Bitcoin web wallets in production today.

Features

  • Clean: Pure JavaScript, concise code, easy to read.

Setup

Node.js

var martexcoin = require('martexcoinjs-lib')

Browser

If you're familiar with how to use browserify, ignore this and proceed normally. These steps are advisory only and allow you to use the API to its full extent.

Browserify is assumed to be installed for these steps.

From your repository, create a foobar.js file

var foobar = {
  base58: require('bs58'),
  bitcoin: require('martexcoinjs-lib'),
  ecurve: require('ecurve'),
  BigInteger: require('bigi'),
  Buffer: require('buffer')
}

module.exports = foobar

Each of these included packages are separate to martexcoinjs-lib, and must be installed separately. They are however used in the martexcoinjs-lib public API.

Using browserify, compile foobar.js for use in the browser:

$ browserify foobar.js -s foobar > foobar.js

You will then be able to load foobar.js into your browser, with each of the dependencies above accessible from the global foobar object.

NOTE: See our package.json for the currently supported version of browserify used by this repository.

NOTE: When uglifying the javascript, you must exclude the following variable names from being mangled: Array, BigInteger, Boolean, Buffer, ECPair, Function, Number, Point and Script. This is because of the function-name-duck-typing used in typeforce. Example:

uglifyjs ... --mangle --reserved 'Array,BigInteger,Boolean,Buffer,ECPair,Function,Number,Point'

Examples

The below examples are implemented as integration tests, they should be very easy to understand. Otherwise, pull requests are appreciated.

If you have a use case that you feel could be listed here, please ask for it!
