Module bch::address

Address encoding and decoding

Examples

Extract the public key hash and address type from a cashaddr address:

use bch::address::cashaddr_decode;
use bch::network::Network;

let addr = "bitcoincash:qr6m7j9njldwwzlg9v7v53unlr4jkmx6eylep8ekg2";
let (pubkeyhash, addr_type) = cashaddr_decode(&addr, Network::Mainnet).unwrap();

Encode a public key hash into a legacy base-58 address:

use bch::address::{legacyaddr_encode, AddressType};
use bch::network::Network;
use bch::util::hash160;

let pubkeyhash = hash160(&[0; 33]);
let legacyaddr = legacyaddr_encode(&pubkeyhash, AddressType::P2PKH, Network::Mainnet);

Enums

AddressType

Address type which is either P2PKH or P2SH
