**NOTE**: If you expect this library to run on an iOS 10 device, ensure that you are using [buffer@5.0.5](https://github.com/feross/buffer/pull/155) or greater.
### Typescript or VSCode users
Type declarations for Typescript are available for version 3.0 of the library. To install, run:
``` bash
npm install @types/bitcoinjs-lib
```
You should now be able to use bitcoinjs-lib as if it was a typescript library.
e.g.,
``` javascript
import { HDNode, Transaction } from 'bitcoinjs-lib'
```
VSCode (and possibly other editors) users writing plain javascript are also advised to install the type declarations, as the intelisense uses that information to help you code (autocompletion, static analysis).
Report bugs on the type declaration file at [@dlebrecht DefinitelyTyped fork](https://github.com/dlebrecht/DefinitelyTyped) or do a PR straight at [DefinitelyTyped](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped)
### Flow
Definitions for [Flow typechecker](https://flowtype.org/) are available in flow-typed repository.
