## Usage
`npm install bip39`
```javascript
var BIP39 = require('bip39')
2014-07-10 04:05:48 +00:00
// defaults to BIP39 English word list
var bip39 = new BIP39()
2014-07-10 04:05:48 +00:00
var mnemonic = bip39.entropyToMnemonic('1337') // hex input, defaults to BIP39 English word list
// 'basket actual'
2014-07-10 04:05:48 +00:00
// or
mnemonic = bip39.generateMnemonic() // strength defaults to 128 bits
// 'seed sock milk update focus rotate barely fade car face mechanic mercy'
bip39.mnemonicToSeedHex('basket actual') // wait for it...
// '5cf2d4a8b0355e90295bdfc565a022a409af063d5365bb57bf74d9528f494bfa4400f53d8349b80fdae44082d7f9541e1dba2b003bcfec9d0d53781ca676651f'
