# SLP CashAddr.js: The new Bitcoin Cash address format for Node.js and web browsers. [![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/cashaddrjs.png?downloads=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/cashaddrjs-slp/) JavaScript implementation for the new CashAddr address format for Bitcoin Cash and SLP. Compliant with the original CashAddr [specification](https://github.com/Bitcoin-UAHF/spec/blob/master/cashaddr.md) which improves upon [BIP 173](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki). *Note:* This is a JavaScript implementation of the CashAddr format specification. If you are looking for a general purpose Bitcoin Cash address translation library, check out the easy-to-use and well-tested [BchAddr.js](https://github.com/bitcoincashjs/bchaddrjs). ## Installation ### Using NPM ```bsh $ npm install --save cashaddrjs-slp ``` ### Using Bower ```bsh $ bower install --save cashaddrjs-slp ``` ### Manually You may also download the distribution file manually and place it within your third-party scripts directory: [dist/cashaddrjs-0.2.9.min.js](https://cdn.rawgit.com/bitcoincashjs/cashaddrjs/master/dist/cashaddrjs-0.2.9.min.js). ## Usage ### In Node.js ```javascript const cashaddr = require('cashaddrjs'); const address = 'bitcoincash:qpm2qsznhks23z7629mms6s4cwef74vcwvy22gdx6a'; const { prefix, type, hash } = cashaddr.decode(address); console.log(prefix); // 'bitcoincash' console.log(type); // 'P2PKH' console.log(hash); // Uint8Array [ 118, 160, ..., 115 ] console.log(cashaddr.encode(prefix, type, hash)); // 'bitcoincash:qpm2qsznhks23z7629mms6s4cwef74vcwvy22gdx6a' ``` *Note:* This is a JavaScript implementation of the CashAddr format specification.
