base58encode function

String base58encode(List<int> bytes)

Implementation

  int length = 0;
  // Compute final size
  final size = (bytes.length - zeroes) * 138 ~/ 100 + 1;
  // Create temporary storage
  final List<int> b58bytes = List<int>.filled(size, 0);
  for (final byteValue in bytes.skip(zeroes)) {
    int carry = byteValue;
    int i = 0;
    for (int j = 0; j < size; j++, i++) {
      // ignore: avoid-inverted-boolean-checks, fix later
      if (!((carry != 0) || (i < length))) break;
      carry += 256 * b58bytes[j];
      b58bytes[j] = carry % 58;
      carry ~/= 58;
