mnemonicAccount

mnemonicAccount(mnemonicSecret): Account

Defined in: src/account/mnemonic-account.ts:14

Deprecated

Use algorand.account.fromMnemonic(mnemonicSecret) or algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey(mnemonicSecret) instead.

Returns an Algorand account with secret key loaded (i.e. that can sign transactions) by taking the mnemonic secret.

This is a wrapper around algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey to provide a more friendly/obvious name.

Parameters

mnemonicSecret

string

The mnemonic secret representing the private key of an account; Note: Be careful how the mnemonic is handled, never commit it into source control and ideally load it from the environment (ideally via a secret storage service) rather than the file system.

Returns

Account
