This is a fork of the Base58Swift project. The upstream project had a longstanding issue with a pull request pending to resolve it, but with no action for months. Based on that, I'm assuming the project is at least in hibernation.
This project applies the fix to host a solution.
Base58Swift is a Swift library that implements Base58 / Base58Check encodings for cryptocurrencies. It is based off of go-base-58 with some added functions.
Add the following to the dependencies section of your Package.swift file:
.package(url: "https://github.com/heckj/Base58Swift.git", from: "2.1.0")Base58Swift provides a static utility class, Base58, which provides encoding and decoding functions.
To encode / decode in Base58:
let bytes: [UInt8] = [255, 254, 253, 252]
let encodedString = Base58.encode(bytes)!
let decodedBytes = Base58.decode(encodedString)!
print(encodedString) // 7YXVWT
print(decodedBytes) // [255, 254, 253, 252]To encode / decode in Base58Check:
let bytes: [UInt8] = [255, 254, 253, 252]
let encodedString = Base58.base58CheckEncode(bytes)!
let decodedBytes = Base58.base58CheckDecode(encodedString)!
print(encodedString) // jpUz5f99p1R
print(decodedBytes) // [255, 254, 253, 252]MIT
