BIP39 Mnemonics for bitcore

[![NPM Package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/bitcore-mnemonic.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/bitcore-mnemonic)
[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/bitpay/bitcore-mnemonic.svg?branch=master&style=flat-square)](https://travis-ci.org/bitpay/bitcore-mnemonic)

**A module for [bitcore](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore) that implements [Mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki).**

## Getting Started

This library is distributed in both the npm packaging systems.

```sh
npm install bitcore-lib  #this to install bitcore-lib since it is a peerDependecy
npm install bitcore-mnemonic
```

There are many examples of how to use it on the developer guide [section for mnemonic](./docs/index.md). For example, the following code would generate a new random mnemonic code and convert it to a `HDPrivateKey`.

```javascript
var Mnemonic = require('bitcore-mnemonic');
var code = new Mnemonic(Mnemonic.Words.SPANISH);
code.toString(); // natal hada sutil año sólido papel jamón combate aula flota ver esfera...
var xpriv = code.toHDPrivateKey();
```
