var valid = WAValidator.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'BTC');
if(valid)
	console.log('This is a valid address');
else
	console.log('Address INVALID');

// This will log 'This is a valid address' to the console.

var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var valid = WAValidator.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'litecoin', 'testnet');
if(valid)
      console.log('This is a valid address');

var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var currency = WAValidator.findCurrency('xrp');
if(currency)
      console.log('This currency exists');
else
      console.log('Currency INVALID');

// As this is a valid currency symbol 'This currency exists' will be logged to console.

var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var currency = WAValidator.findCurrency('random');
if(currency)
      console.log('This currency exists');
