Ledger.getAddress(path)

[torusJKL]

Please add a function in the Ledger Chrome app that allows for the following API call:

Ledger.getAddress(path)

Request the address for a specific path.

function callback(event) {
  response = event.response;
  if (response.command == "get_address") {
    console.log(response);
  }
};
Ledger.init({ callback: callback });
Ledger.getAddress("44'/0'/0'/0/0");

If the user cancels the request:

{  
   "command":"get_address",
   "success":false,
   "message":"Export request cancelled"
}

If the user confirms the export request:

{  
   "command":"get_address",
   "success":true,

   "address":"15Tc1vFcBQJD5vCs5sZM3s5cAZewLs8sM5"
}

Hi

You can get that from any library that manipulates HD keys, such as Bitcore, and use the getXPubKey call.

A bit in a hurry now, so let me know if you need more details

[torusJKL]

Yes, you could get it from the xPubKey.
But you could say the same for Ledger.getNewAddresses(account_id, count).
Having this call makes it easier because you don't need to use another library.

That was the idea behind this feature request.
Make it easier to get a specific address. :-)
