Introduction

@safeblock/blockchain-utils provides tools and utilities for managing blockchain networks, addresses, amounts, and providers with seamless integration and ease of use. Built for developers working in blockchain ecosystems, it includes functionalities to manage networks, validate and process addresses, handle amounts effectively, and utilize fallback providers.

Features

• Network Management: Pre-configured support for blockchain networks.
• Address Utilities: Includes type checks, actions, and support for special addresses.
• Amount Utilities: Provides robust tools for amount calculations, formatting, and validation.
• Provider Integration: Simplifies interactions with public nodes using a fallback mechanism.
• Provider Reconfiguration: Dynamically update the provider list as needed.
• Extensible: Modular design for easy customization and integration.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install @safeblock/blockchain-utils

or via yarn:

yarn add @safeblock/blockchain-utils

Usage

Network Management

import { networks } from '@safeblock/blockchain-utils';

console.log(networks);

Address Utilities

import { isSpecialAddress, validateAddress } from '@safeblock/blockchain-utils/address';

const address = '0x...';

// Check if an address is special
console.log(isSpecialAddress(address));

// Validate the address format
console.log(validateAddress(address));

The Address Utilities module also supports:

• Address Type Checks: Easily determine if an address is valid or matches specific criteria.
• Address Actions: Includes functions for address formatting and manipulation.

Amount Utilities

import { parseAmount, formatAmount } from '@safeblock/blockchain-utils/amount';

// Parse an amount string to a standardized object
const parsedAmount = parseAmount('1.23');
console.log(parsedAmount);

// Format an amount object for display
const formattedAmount = formatAmount(parsedAmount);
console.log(formattedAmount);

The Amount Utilities module supports:

• Parsing amounts from strings into objects.
• Formatting amounts for user-friendly display.
• Validating amounts to ensure accuracy.

Ethers Provider

import { createFallbackProvider, reconfigureProviders } from '@safeblock/blockchain-utils/ethers-provider';

// Create a fallback provider with a list of nodes
const provider = createFallbackProvider(['https://mainnet.infura.io', 'https://cloudflare-eth.com']);

// Dynamically update the provider list
reconfigureProviders(provider, ['https://new-node1.com', 'https://new-node2.com']);

The Ethers Provider module supports:

• Fallback mechanisms for reliable provider access.
• Reconfiguring provider lists dynamically without restarting the application.
