# base58
A Lua module for converting strings to
[base58](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base58). It works by converting your
string into an interal big integer representation, then diving out the base58
components.
## Example
```lua
local base58 = require("base58")
print(base58.encode_base58("Hello world"))
print(base58.decode_base58("TvjnTzXAiTprExJ"))
```
## Install
```
luarocks install base58
```
# Reference
All functions are available in the `base58` module:
```lua
local base58 = require("base58")
```
The following alphabet is included and used by default. It's currently not
possible to configure the alphabet without editing the source.
```

```
#### `encode_base58(string)`
Encodes the string into base58
#### `decode_base58(string)`
Decodes base58 back into original string. If the input passed in contains
invalid characters `nil` and an error message are returned.
