Hey junderw as we added new feature to uint8array-tools library.. a new function ‘toUtf8’ is added. Will we be able to use that function from now onwards with library’s new version, or will it take some time

For now, instead of releasing a new version for every function, just switch the dependency in package.json from npm to git and point to the default branch.

"uint8array-tools": "git+https://github.com/bitcoinjs/uint8array-tools.git", should point to the default branch and use it.

Hello everyone,

My name is Sumit Kumar, and I'm one of the applicants for SoB 2024. I'm particularly interested in updating the bip174 repository to align it with the latest BIP standards and Rust-Bitcoin integration ideas. I have experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js. Additionally, I've made some contributions to the rust-bitcoin library. Also really excited to work along with you all if I get the chance.

junderw I do have one question: Is the scope of this project to fully support BIP-370 within the bitcoinjs ecosystem? I noticed there has been some progress in this area with rust-bitcoin.

For the bip174 library, I would like to support as much as it can.

I have a rough rule of thumb that bip174 is mostly about encoding and decoding, and the library shouldn't need to depend on Bitcoin specific logic.

All of the bitcoin specific functions of a Psbt are implemented in bitcoinjs-lib's Psbt class (which is a wrapper around the bip174 Psbt.

An update on my work:
I found out that tape has extended its support for ESM modules by this PR: https://github.com/tape-testing/tape/pull/547. But I am still facing issues to run the tests: there are few error which I am trying to resolve.

Also, adding this in package.json file:

"exports": {
    "import": "./index.js",
    "require": "./index.cjs"
  }

allows me to call different files for importing procedures (using import or require) but this is limited to the entry point of the entire package. I am still figuring out the way of dealing with individual files (like we call specific files while testing them).

Hey junderw couldn’t attend session last night.. yet i went throught the discussion today..and it was really helpful

An update to my work🎯
Working on my second pull request in bech32 repository.. almost everything seems to work fine.
Also i have added a new function “fromUtf8” in uint8array-tools library to convert utf8 string to bytes. And now i am importing that dependency in bech32 library from git not npm(as u suggested). I’ll create a pull request soon.

One thing to ask.. shall i create a PR in uint8array-tools library as well or shall i keep using that new function from my repo?
