[![Coverage Status][coverage-badge]][coverage-link]
[![Discord][discord-badge]][discord-link]

A collection of utility functions for Ethereum. It can be used in Node.js and in the browser with [browserify](http://browserify.org/).

# INSTALL

`npm install ethereumjs-util`

# USAGE

```js
import assert from 'assert'
import { isValidChecksumAddress, unpadBuffer, BN } from 'ethereumjs-util'

const address = '0x2F015C60E0be116B1f0CD534704Db9c92118FB6A'
assert.ok(isValidChecksumAddress(address))

assert.equal(unpadBuffer(Buffer.from('000000006600', 'hex')), Buffer.from('6600', 'hex'))

assert.equal(new BN('dead', 16).add(new BN('101010', 2)), 57047)
```

### ethjs-util methods

The following methods are available provided by [ethjs-util](https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-util):

- arrayContainsArray
- toBuffer
- getBinarySize
- stripHexPrefix
- isHexPrefixed
- isHexString
- padToEven
- intToHex
- fromAscii
- fromUtf8
- toUtf8
- toAscii
- getKeys

They can be imported by name:

```js
import { intToHex, stripHexPrefix } from 'ethereumjs-util'
```

### Re-Exports

Additionally `ethereumjs-util` re-exports a few commonly-used libraries. These include:

- [BN.js](https://github.com/indutny/bn.js) (version `5.x`)
- [rlp](https://github.com/ethereumjs/rlp) (version `2.x`)
