Creating wallet from existing key

[jsoneaday]

I'm trying to create a Data object based on the private key of an existing wallet that I have. In javascript if I json.parse this file's contents it does create the wallet. However in swift if I use Data(JSONEncoder().encode("{key}")) it exceptions on the Wallet line.

let walletData = try? Data(JSONEncoder().encode("my key")
let wallet = try Wallet(jwkFileData: walletData!) // fails here

@jsoneaday If you're trying to create a Data representation of a file's contents (the JWK keyfile), you can use the steps provided in the README:

guard let keyFileData = try? Data(contentsOf: keyFileUrl) else { return }
let wallet = Wallet(jwkFileData: keyFileData)

Do you mean to ask that you'd like to create a Data object directly from a JSON String (to subsequently use to create a Wallet)?

If so, in Swift you can convert a String to Data via the following:

let keyDataFromString = try jsonString.data(using: .utf8)

Thanks I'll try that. I'm getting someone on discord saying that your library does not work on arweave v2 using either testweave or arlocal, only v1. He says he gets http 412 errors. I'll try it on my end and see.

@jsoneaday This library currently supports only v1. I've responded in the Discord channel and will open a new issue here for v2 support.
