Build Status

Forked from ryanralph/altcoin-address.

File size is ~17 kB (minifed and gzipped).

Installation

NPM

npm install multicoin-address-validator

Browser

API

validate (address [, currency = 'bitcoin'[, networkType = 'prod']])
Parameters
  • address - Wallet address to validate.
  • currency - Optional. Currency name or symbol, e.g. 'bitcoin' (default), 'litecoin' or 'LTC'
  • networkType - Optional. Use 'prod' (default) to enforce standard address, 'testnet' to enforce testnet address and 'both' to enforce nothing.
  • chainType - Optional. Specify the chainType, eg 'ethereum'. If the given currency is not found but the chainType is, the validator for that chainType will be used, thus allowing unspecified tokens to be validated.

Returns true if the address (string) is a valid wallet address for the crypto currency specified, see below for supported currencies.

if(valid)
	console.log('This is a valid address');
else
	console.log('Address INVALID');

// This will log 'This is a valid address' to the console.
var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var valid = WAValidator.validate('0xdbF03B407c01E7cD3CBea99509d93f8DDDC8C6FB', 'UNKNOWN TOKEN', {chainType: 'ethereum'});
if(valid)
	console.log('This is a valid address');
else
	console.log('Address INVALID');

// This will log 'This is a valid address' to the console.
var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var valid = WAValidator.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'litecoin', 'testnet');
if(valid)
      console.log('This is a valid address');
else
      console.log('Address INVALID');

// As this is a invalid litecoin address 'Address INVALID' will be logged to console.
var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var currency = WAValidator.findCurrency('xrp');
if(currency)
      console.log('This currency exists');
else
      console.log('Currency INVALID');

// As this is a valid currency symbol 'This currency exists' will be logged to console.
var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var currency = WAValidator.findCurrency('random');
if(currency)
      console.log('This currency exists');
else
      console.log('Currency INVALID');

// As this is not a valid currency symbol 'Currency INVALID' will be logged to console.

Browser

<script src="wallet-address-validator.min.js"></script>
// WAValidator is exposed as a global (window.WAValidator)
var valid = WAValidator.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'bitcoin');
if(valid)
    alert('This is a valid address');
else
    alert('Address INVALID');
