generateWallet

This function will generate an Arweave wallet, not a Koii wallet. To generate a Koii wallet please check Koii CLI.

This function creates a new Arweave wallet, but it does not return the private key of the generated wallet. Instead, it stores the info under the wallet property and returns a boolean value of True or False.

Parameters

use_mnemonic <boolean> - Flag for enabling mnemonic phrase wallet generation

Example Code

const knode = require("@_koi/sdk/node");
const ktools = new knode.Node();

async function testGenerateWallet(true) {
    let generatedWallet = await ktools.generateWallet();
    console.log("My wallet: ", ktools.wallet);
    // {kty:"RSA", n:"0vx7agoebGcQSuu...", e:"AQAB"... }
    console.log("My mnemonic: ", ktools.mnemonic);
    // "violin artwork lonely inject resource jewel purity village abstract neglect panda license"
}

testGenerateWallet();

The true parameter on line 4 in the testGenerateWallet function is for use_mnemonic boolean passed as a parameter to generate a mnemonic wallet.

Example Code Output
