Reddcoin URIs

Represents a reddcoin payment URI. Reddcoin URI strings became the most popular way to share payment requests, sometimes as a hyperlink and others using a QR code.

URI Examples:

reddcoin:RtXwY8BB61A38iYgSSynhdAPyQ2azUT9gV
reddcoin:RtXwY8BB61A38iYgSSynhdAPyQ2azUT9gV?amount=1.2
reddcoin:RtXwY8BB61A38iYgSSynhdAPyQ2azUT9gV?amount=1.2&message=Payment&label=Satoshi&extra=other-param

URI Validation

The main use that we expect you'll have for the URI class in bitcore is validating and parsing reddcoin URIs. A URI instance exposes the address as a bitcore Address object and the amount in Satoshis, if present.

The code for validating URIs looks like this:

var uriString = 'reddcoin:RtXwY8BB61A38iYgSSynhdAPyQ2azUT9gV?amount=1.2';
var valid = URI.isValid(uriString);
var uri = new URI(uriString);
console.log(uri.address.network, uri.amount); // 'livenet', 120000000

URI Parameters

All standard parameters can be found as members of the URI instance. However a reddcoin URI may contain other non-standard parameters, all those can be found under the extra namespace.

See the official BIP21 spec for more information.

Create URI

Another important use case for the URI class is creating a reddcoin URI for sharing a payment request. That can be accomplished by using a dictionary to create an instance of URI.

The code for creating an URI from an Object looks like this:

var uriString = new URI({
  address: 'RtXwY8BB61A38iYgSSynhdAPyQ2azUT9gV',
  amount : 10000, // in satoshis
  message: 'My payment request'
});
var uriString = uri.toString();
