A JavaScript Litecoin library.

## Principles

Litecoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Litecoin network allows for highly resilient Litecoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement Litecoin apps and services.

## Get Started

```
npm install ltc-lib
```

```
bower install ltc-lib
```

## Documentation

The complete docs are hosted here: [ltcLib documentation](http://ltc.io/guide/). There's also a [ltcLib API reference](http://ltc.io/api/) available generated from the JSDocs of the project, where you'll find low-level details on each ltcLib utility.

## Building the Browser Bundle

To build a ltc-lib full bundle for the browser:

```sh
gulp browser
```

This will generate files named `ltc-lib.js` and `ltc-lib.min.js`.

You can also use our pre-generated files, provided for each release along with a PGP signature by one of the project's maintainers. To get them, checkout a release commit (for example, https://github.com/owstack/ltc-lib/commit/e33b6e3ba6a1e5830a079e02d949fce69ea33546 for v0.12.6).

To verify signatures, use the following PGP keys:

## Development & Tests

```sh
git clone https://github.com/owstack/ltc-lib
cd ltc-lib
npm install
```

Run all the tests:

```sh
gulp test
```

You can also run just the Node.js tests with `gulp test:node`, just the browser tests with `gulp test:browser`
or create a test coverage report (you can open `coverage/lcov-report/index.html` to visualize it) with `gulp coverage`.
