- Easy to audit and verify,
- Tested, with test coverage >95%,
- Advanced and feature rich,
- Standardized, using standard and Node
Buffer's throughout, and - Friendly, with a strong and helpful community, ready to answer questions.
Documentation
Presently, we do not have any formal documentation other than our examples, please ask for help if our examples aren't enough to guide you.
Usage
Browser
The recommended method of using bitcoingreenjs-lib in your browser is through Browserify.
If you're familiar with how to use browserify, ignore this and carry on, otherwise, it is recommended to read the tutorial at http://browserify.org/.
NOTE: We use Node Maintenance LTS features, if you need strict ES5, use --transform babelify in conjunction with your browserify step (using an es2015 preset).
NOTE: If you expect this library to run on an iOS 10 device, ensure that you are using buffer@5.0.5 or greater.
