bech32

A BIP173/BIP350 compatible Bech32/Bech32m encoding/decoding library for Crystal.

GitHub GitHub tag (latest SemVer) GitHub Workflow Status

Installation

  1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:
dependencies:
  bech32:
    github: wout/bech32
  1. Run shards install

Usage

require "bech32"

Decoding

Decode using the default Bech32 encoding:

prefix, words = Bech32.decode("abcdef1qpzry9x8gf2tvdw0s3jn54khce6mua7lmqqqxw")
puts prefix
# => "abcdef"
puts words
# => Bytes[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]

Decode using the Bech32M encoding:

prefix, words = Bech32.decode(
  "abcdef1l7aum6echk45nj3s0wdvt2fg8x9yrzpqzd3ryx",
  encoding: Bech32::Encoding::Bech32M
)
puts prefix
# => "abcdef"
puts words
# => Bytes[31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

To convert the words to bytes:

words = Bytes[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]
Bech32.from_words(words)
# => Bytes[0, 68, 50, 20, 199, 66, 84, 182, 53, 207, 132, 101, 58, 86, 215, 198, 117, 190, 119, 223]

Encoding

Convert the string to words:

words = Bech32.to_words("foobar".to_slice)

Encode using the default Bech32 encoding:

Bech32.encode("foo", words)
# => "foo1vehk7cnpwgry9h96"

Encode using the Bech32M encoding:

Bech32.encode("foo", words, encoding: Bech32::Encoding::Bech32M)
# => "foo1vehk7cnpwgkc4mqc"

Advanced

BIP173 enforces a limitation of 90 characters. If the given string exceeds this length, pass a higher value using the limit argument. Be aware that the effectiveness of the checksum decreases as the length increases.

It is highly recommended not to exceed 1023 characters, as the module could only guarantee to detect one error.

Development

Make sure you have Guardian.cr installed. Then run:

$ guardian

This will automatically:

  • run ameba for src and spec files
  • run the relevant spec for any file in the src dir
  • run spec a file whenever it's saved
