Fork of ecpair with BitGo specific changes
npm install @bitgo/ecpairA library for managing SECP256k1 keypairs written in TypeScript with transpiled JavaScript committed to git.
This BitGo fork improves compatibility with fork coins, and alternative SECP256K1 implementations.
TypeScript

import { Signer, SignerAsync, ECPairInterface, ECPairFactory, ECPairAPI, TinySecp256k1Interface } from 'ecpair';

// You need to provide the ECC library. The ECC library must implement
// all the methods of the TinySecp256k1Interface interface.

// You don't need to explicitly write ECPairInterface, but just to show
// that the keyPair implements the interface this example includes it.
// From WIF
const keyPair1: ECPairInterface = ECPair.fromWIF('KynD8ZKdViVo5W82oyxvE18BbG6nZPVQ8Td8hYbwU94RmyUALUik');

const keyPair2 = ECPair.fromPrivateKey(crypto.randomBytes(32));

// OR use your own custom random buffer generator BE CAREFUL!!!!
const customRandomBufferFunc = (size: number): Buffer => crypto.randomBytes(size);
const keyPair4 = ECPair.makeRandom({ rng: customRandomBufferFunc });
// From pubkey (33 or 65 byte DER format public key)
