Author message:

Burstcoin has been rebranded to Signum. This package has been moved to @signumjs/util

@burstjs/util

Useful utilities and tools for building Burstcoin applications

Installation

@burstjs/http can be used with NodeJS or Web. Two formats are available

Using with NodeJS and/or modern web frameworks

Install using npm:

npm install @burstjs/util

or using yarn:

yarn add @burstjs/util

Example

import {convertNumberToNQTString} from '@burstjs/util'

const value = convertNumberToNQTString(1000)
console.log(value)

Using in classic <script>

Each package is available as bundled standalone library using IIFE. This way burstJS can be used also within <script>-Tags. This might be useful for Wordpress and/or other PHP applications.

Just import the package using the HTML <script> tag.

<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@burstjs/util/dist/util.crypto.min.js'></script>

Example

const value = b$util.convertNumberToNQTString(1000)
console.log(value)

API Reference

Modules

util

A Value Object to facilitate Burst Timestamp conversions.

util

Enum to determine the representation format of [BurstValue] string

util

A Value Object to facilitate BURST and Planck conversions/calculations.

Note: This class uses a big number representation (ES5 compatible) under the hood, so number limits and numeric calculations are much more precise than JS number type

util
