# Install

Prior to version 1.1.0:

```bash
pip3 install thor-devkit -U
```

For 1.1.0 and newer:

```bash
pip3 install vechain-thor-devkit -U
```

***Caveat: Bip32 depends on the `ripemd160` hash library, which should be present on your system within OpenSSL.***

Type these in your terminal to see if they are available
```python
> python3
> import hashlib
> print('ripemd160' in hashlib.algorithms_available)
```

# Tutorials

### Private/Public Keys
```python
from thor_devkit import cry
from thor_devkit.cry import secp256k1

private_key = secp256k1.generate_privateKey()

public_key = secp256k1.derive_publicKey(private_key)

_address_bytes = cry.public_key_to_address(public_key)
address = '0x' + _address_bytes.hex()

print( address )
# 0x86d8cd908e43bc0076bc99e19e1a3c6221436ad0
print('is address?', cry.is_address(address))
# is address? True
print( cry.to_checksum_address(address) ) 
# 0x86d8CD908e43BC0076Bc99e19E1a3c6221436aD0
```

### Sign & Verify Signature

```python
from thor_devkit import cry
from thor_devkit.cry import secp256k1

# bytes
private_key = bytes.fromhex('7582be841ca040aa940fff6c05773129e135623e41acce3e0b8ba520dc1ae26a')
# bytes
msg_hash, _ = cry.keccak256([b'hello world'])

# Sign the message hash.
# bytes
signature = secp256k1.sign(msg_hash, private_key)

# Recover public key from given message hash and signature.
# bytes
public_key = secp256k1.recover(msg_hash, signature)
```

### Mnemonic Wallet

```python
from thor_devkit.cry import mnemonic

words = mnemonic.generate()
print(words)
# ['fashion', 'reduce', 'resource', 'ordinary', 'seek', 'kite', 'space', 'marriage', 'cube', 'detail', 'bundle', 'latin']

flag = mnemonic.validate(words)
print(flag)
# True

# Quickly get a Bip32 master seed for HD wallets. See below "HD Wallet".
seed = mnemonic.derive_seed(words)

# Quickly get a private key.
private_key = mnemonic.derive_private_key(words, 0)
```

### HD Wallet
Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets. See [bip-32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki) and [bip-44](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki).

```python
from thor_devkit import cry
from thor_devkit.cry import hdnode

# Construct an HD node from words. (Recommended)
words = 'ignore empty bird silly journey junior ripple have guard waste between tenant'.split(' ')

hd_node = cry.HDNode.from_mnemonic(
    words,
    init_path=hdnode.VET_EXTERNAL_PATH
) # VET wallet, you can input other string values to generate BTC/ETH/... wallets.

# Or, construct HD node from seed. (Advanced)
seed = '28bc19620b4fbb1f8892b9607f6e406fcd8226a0d6dc167ff677d122a1a64ef936101a644e6b447fd495677f68215d8522c893100d9010668614a68b3c7bb49f'

hd_node = cry.HDNode.from_seed(
    bytes.fromhex(seed),
    init_path=hdnode.VET_EXTERNAL_PATH
) # VET wallet, you can input other string values to generate BTC/ETH/... wallets.

# Access the HD node's properties.
priv = hd_node.private_key()
pub = hd_node.public_key()
addr = hd_node.address()
cc = hd_node.chain_code()

# Or, construct HD node from a given public key. (Advanced)
# Notice: This HD node cannot derive child HD node with "private key".
hd_node = cry.HDNode.from_public_key(pub, cc)

# Or, construct HD node from a given private key. (Advanced)
hd_node = cry.HDNode.from_private_key(priv, cc)

# Let it derive further child HD nodes.
for i in range(0, 3):
    print('addr:', '0x'+hd_node.derive(i).address().hex())
    print('priv:', hd_node.derive(i).private_key().hex())

# addr: 0x339fb3c438606519e2c75bbf531fb43a0f449a70

### Keystore

```python
from thor_devkit.cry import keystore

ks = {
    "version": 3,
    "id": "f437ebb1-5b0d-4780-ae9e-8640178ffd77",

}
password = b'123456'

# Decrypt
private_key = keystore.decrypt(ks, password)

# Encrypt
ks_backup = keystore.encrypt(private_key, password)
```

### Hash the Messages
```python
from thor_devkit import cry

result, length = cry.blake2b256([b'hello world'])
result2, length = cry.blake2b256([b'hello', b' world'])
# result == result2

result, length = cry.keccak256([b'hello world'])
result2, length = cry.keccak256([b'hello', b' world'])
# result == result2
```


### Bloom Filter
```python
from thor_devkit import Bloom

# Create a bloom filter that can store 100 items.
_k = Bloom.estimate_k(100)
b = Bloom(_k)

# Add an item to the bloom filter.
b.add(bytes('hello world', 'UTF-8'))

# Verify
b.test(bytes('hello world', 'UTF-8'))
# True
b.test(bytes('bye bye blue bird', 'UTF-8'))
# False
```

### ABI

Encode function name and parameters according to ABI.
