## Usage

### Validation functions

Taquito provides functions that allow seeing if an address, a chain, a key hash, a contract address, a public key, a signature, a block hash, an operation hash, or a protocol hash is valid based on checksums.

The `ValidationResult` returned by these functions is an enum that can take the following values:

```
0 = NO_PREFIX_MATCHED,
1 = INVALID_CHECKSUM,
2 = INVALID_LENGTH,
3 = VALID
```

**Address validation (tz1, tz2, tz3, KT1)**

```ts
import { validateAddress } from '@taquito/utils';

const pkh = 'tz1L9r8mWmRPndRhuvMCWESLGSVeFzQ9NAWx';
console.log(validateAddress(pkh));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Key hash validation**

```ts
import { validateKeyHash } from '@taquito/utils';

const keyHash = 'tz1L9r8mWmRPndRhuvMCWESLGSVeFzQ9NAWx';
console.log(validateKeyHash(keyHash));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Contract address validation**

```ts
import { validateContractAddress } from '@taquito/utils';

const contractAddress = 'KT1AfxAKKLnEg6rQ6kHdvCWwagjSaxEwURSJ';
console.log(validateContractAddress(contractAddress));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Chain id validation**

```ts
import { validateChain } from '@taquito/utils';

const chainId = 'NetXdQprcVkpaWU';
console.log(validateChain(chainId));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Public key validation**

```ts
import { validatePublicKey } from '@taquito/utils';

const publicKey = 'edpkvS5QFv7KRGfa3b87gg9DBpxSm3NpSwnjhUjNBQrRUUR66F7C9g';
console.log(validatePublicKey(publicKey));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Signature validation**

```ts
import { validateSignature } from '@taquito/utils';

const signature = 'edsigtkpiSSschcaCt9pUVrpNPf7TTcgvgDEDD6NCEHMy8NNQJCGnMfLZzYoQj74yLjo9wx6MPVV29CvVzgi7qEcEUok3k7AuMg';
console.log(validateSignature(signature));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Block hash validation**

```ts
import { validateBlock } from '@taquito/utils';

const block ='BLJjnzaPtSsxykZ9pLTFLSfsKuiN3z7SjSPDPWwbE4Q68u5EpBw';
console.log(validateBlock(block));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Operation hash validation**

```ts
import { validateOperation } from '@taquito/utils';

const operation ='ood2Y1FLHH9izvYghVcDGGAkvJFo1CgSEjPfWvGsaz3qypCmeUj';
console.log(validateOperation(operation));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

**Protocol hash validation**

```ts
import { validateProtocol } from '@taquito/utils';

//valid
const protocol ='PtHangz2aRngywmSRGGvrcTyMbbdpWdpFKuS4uMWxg2RaH9i1qx';
console.log(validateProtocol(protocol));
// output: 3 which is valid
```

### Verification of a signature

The function takes a message, a public key, and a signature as parameters and returns a boolean indicating if the signature matches.

```ts
import { verifySignature } from '@taquito/utils';

const message = '03d0c10e3ed11d7c6e3357f6ef335bab9e8f2bd54d0ce20c482e241191a6e4b8ce6c01be917311d9ac46959750e405d57e268e2ed9e174a80794fbd504e12a4a000141eb3781afed2f69679ff2bbe1c5375950b0e40d00ff000000005e05050505050507070100000024747a32526773486e74516b72794670707352466261313652546656503539684b72654a4d07070100000024747a315a6672455263414c42776d4171776f6e525859565142445439426a4e6a42484a750001';
const pk = 'sppk7c7hkPj47yjYFEHX85q46sFJGw6RBrqoVSHwAJAT4e14KJwzoey';
const sig = 'spsig1cdLkp1RLgUHAp13aRFkZ6MQDPp7xCnjAExGL3MBSdMDmT6JgQSX8cufyDgJRM3sinFtiCzLbsyP6d365EHoNevxhT47nx'

const isValid = verifySignature(message, pk, sig);
console.log(isValid);
// output: true
```
