How to use with mnemonics?

[Riley-Kilgore]

Take a look at this previously closed issue: #20

I think that it will probably help a bit with what you're looking to achieve - I didn't use mnemonics here for key generation; but the process after you have a key, that is valid to the cli, should be the same.

EDIT: Specifically, you may need to follow these steps after generating the key from the mnemonic.
1- Remove the first two bytes of information from the PRIVATE_KEY_STRING generated above.
2- Run echo <PRIVATE_KEY_STRING> | bech32 ed25519_sk > skeybech
3- Use the value now present in the file skeybech to call selectWalletFromPrivateKey(keyInFile)

Thanks @Riley-Kilgore , will check that out.

Maybe I integrate mnemonic support natively into Lucid, but low priority right now. You could simply use the npm package bip39 to convert the seed phrase into entropy, which can then be parsed by CSL: https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib/blob/master/doc/getting-started/generating-keys.md

Thanks guys. Solved it now. My mistake was that I was directly using the key generated from

const key = CardanoWasm.Bip32PrivateKey.from_bip39_entropy(
  Buffer.from(entropy, 'hex'),
  Buffer.from(''),
);

After looking at both Lucid and CSL's code i've realized that I needed to do this first:

this.key.to_raw_key().to_bech32()

The result from the above then works with Lucid.

Update: It doesn't seem to be the same wallet that I previously had when I convert it to the raw key or i'm missing something here?

Selecting a wallet from seedphrase was added in Lucid version 0.5.6.
