dat-link-checksum

Backwards compatible dat links that contain a checksum so you know if made a typo.

npm install dat-link-checksum

Usage

const datLink = require('dat-link-checksum')

// return dat://...
const link = datLink.encode(datKeyAsBuffer)

// checks the checksum and return the decoded link
const buf = datLink.decode(link)

The checksum is encoded as uppercase hex characters, similar to ethereum keys, which makes the checksum links backwards compatible since hex is case insensitive
