Validate address, convert address
Validate and convert address to different formats
When you may need it?
If you want to validate an address and/or convert address to bounceable/non-bounceable base64/base64url formats and back. These types of address are sometimes used in some clients so may be useful for integration.
Get address type
let initialAddressType = await client.utils.get_address_type({address});
console.log(`Address type is ${JSON.stringify(initialAddressType)}`);
Convert
Use utils.convert_address
function for that.
let convertedAddress = (await client.utils.convert_address({
address,
output_format: {
type: "Hex"
},
})).address;
console.log(`Address in raw format: ${convertedAddress}`);
Validate
If address is incorrect the function utils.convert_address
will fail with an error.
