Client-side Bitcoin JavaScript library for React Native
npm install react-native-bitcoinjs-lib
ReactNative-ready fork of the original bitcoinjs package.
Used by over a million wallet users and the backbone for almost all Bitcoin web wallets in production today.
- Clean: Pure JavaScript, concise code, easy to read.
- Tested: Coverage > 90%, third-party integration tests.
- Careful: Two person approval process for small, focused pull requests.
- Compatible: Works on Node.js and all modern browsers.
- Powerful: Support for advanced features, such as multi-sig, HD Wallets.
- Secure: Strong random number generation, PGP signed releases, trusted developers.
- Principled: No support for browsers with crap RNG (IE < 11)
- Standardized: Node community coding style, Browserify, Node's stdlib and Buffers.
- Fast: Optimized code, uses typed arrays instead of byte arrays for performance.
- Experiment-friendly: Bitcoin Mainnet and Testnet support.
- Altcoin-ready: Capable of working with bitcoin-derived cryptocurrencies (such as Dogecoin).
npm i react-native-bitcoinjs-lib --save
Create the react native project.
react-native init fooApp
Install rn-nodeify to be able to use Node.js libs.
npm i rn-nodeify -g
Add this postinstall script to install & hack the Node.js libs for the usage in React Native.
"postinstall": "rn-nodeify --install stream,buffer,events,assert --hack"
Install & link required dependencies.
npm i react-native-bitcoinjs-lib react-native-randombytes --save && react-native link react-native-randombytes
Run the postinstall, it will create a shim.js file which you need to include in your index file (see Usage).
npm run postinstall
Run the app
react-native run-android or react-native run-ios
Edit index.android.js and index.ios.js
``javascript``
// node.js libs
import './shim' // make sure to use es6 import and not require()
import Bitcoin from 'react-native-bitcoinjs-lib'
[...]
const keypair = Bitcoin.ECPair.makeRandom()
console.log(keypair.getAddress()) // your brand new base58-encoded Bitcoin address
Run the example app or refer to the original repository for more available examples.
