@opcat-labs/scrypt-ts-opcat / Mnemonic
Class: Mnemonic
Defined in: node_modules/@opcat-labs/opcat/types/mnemonic/mnemonic.d.cts:27
This is an immutable class that represents a BIP39 Mnemonic code. See BIP39 specification for more info: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki A Mnemonic code is a a group of easy to remember words used for the generation of deterministic wallets. A Mnemonic can be used to generate a seed using an optional passphrase, for later generate a HDPrivateKey.
Example
// generate a random mnemonic
var mnemonic = new Mnemonic();
var phrase = mnemonic.phrase;
// use a different language
var mnemonic = new Mnemonic(Mnemonic.Words.SPANISH);
var xprivkey = mnemonic.toHDPrivateKey();
Param
Input data (Buffer for seed, string for phrase, or number for entropy bits)
Param
Optional wordlist for phrase generation/validation
Throws
If invalid data type provided
Throws
If phrase language can't be detected
Throws
If phrase is invalid
Throws
If invalid ENT value (must be >=128 and divisible by 32)
Constructors
new Mnemonic()
new Mnemonic(
data?,wordlist?):Mnemonic

Parameters
data?
Input data (Buffer for seed, string for phrase, or number for entropy bits)
string | number | Buffer
wordlist?
any[]
Optional wordlist for phrase generation/validation
Returns
A new instance of Mnemonic
Example
// generate a random mnemonic
var mnemonic = new Mnemonic();
var phrase = mnemonic.phrase;
// use a different language
var mnemonic = new Mnemonic(Mnemonic.Words.SPANISH);
var xprivkey = mnemonic.toHDPrivateKey();
Throws

Methods
inspect()
inspect():
string
Defined in: node_modules/@opcat-labs/opcat/types/mnemonic/mnemonic.d.cts:86
Will return a string formatted for the console
Returns
string
Mnemonic
toHDPrivateKey()
toHDPrivateKey(
passphrase?,network?):HDPrivateKey
Defined in: node_modules/@opcat-labs/opcat/types/mnemonic/mnemonic.d.cts:74
Generates a HD Private Key from a Mnemonic. Optionally receive a passphrase and bitcoin network.
Parameters
passphrase?
string
network?
any
The network: 'livenet' or 'testnet'
Returns
toSeed()
toSeed(
passphrase?):Buffer
Defined in: node_modules/@opcat-labs/opcat/types/mnemonic/mnemonic.d.cts:64
Will generate a seed based on the mnemonic and optional passphrase. Note that this seed is absolutely NOT the seed that is output by .toSeed(). These are two different seeds. The seed you want to put in here, if any, is just some random byte string. Normally you should rely on the .fromRandom() method.
Parameters
passphrase?
string
Returns
Buffer
toString()
toString():
string
Defined in: node_modules/@opcat-labs/opcat/types/mnemonic/mnemonic.d.cts:80
Will return a the string representation of the mnemonic
Returns
string
Mnemonic
