To normalize IPv6 addresses

import ip6 from 'ip6';

console.log(ip6.normalize('2404:6800:4003:808::200e'));
// 2404:6800:4003:0808:0000:0000:0000:200e

To generate 5 random /128 from a /48 (output in abbreviated mode):

let r = ip6.randomSubnet("2607:5300:60::", 48, 128, 5, true);
console.log(r);
/*
[ '2607:5300:60:ba28:1acc:11ef:23a:770',

To calculate the range and size of a /64 subnet:

let range = ip6.range("2607:5300:60:1234::", 64, 128);
console.log(range);
/*
