Create an account (privatKey, public address pairt) from celo utils generateKeys.

[Allen-Muhani]

Herre is the logic

import { MnemonicLanguages, generateMnemonic, MnemonicStrength, generateKeys } from '@celo/utils/lib/account';
import * as bip39 from 'react-native-bip39';

const MNEMONIC_BIT_LENGTH = MnemonicStrength.s256_24words

const checkDuplicate = (someString: string) => {
    return new Set(someString.split(' ')).size !== someString.split(' ').length
}

export function getMnemonicLanguage(language: string | null) {
    switch (language?.slice(0, 2)) {
      case 'es': {
        return MnemonicLanguages.spanish
      }
      case 'pt': {
        return MnemonicLanguages.portuguese
      }
      default: {
        return MnemonicLanguages.english
      }
    }
}

export async function generateNewMnemonic(): Promise<string> {
    
    const mnemonicLanguage = getMnemonicLanguage("");
    let mnemonic = await generateMnemonic(MNEMONIC_BIT_LENGTH, mnemonicLanguage, bip39)

    let isDuplicateInMnemonic = checkDuplicate(mnemonic);
    while (isDuplicateInMnemonic) {
        let mnemonic = await generateMnemonic(MNEMONIC_BIT_LENGTH, mnemonicLanguage, bip39)
        isDuplicateInMnemonic = checkDuplicate(mnemonic)
    }

    return mnemonic;
}


export async function createNewAccountWithMnemonic() {
    const mnemonic = await generateNewMnemonic();
    const keys = generateKeys(mnemonic, undefined, undefined, undefined, bip39);
    console.log("=======================> keys", keys, mnemonic)
}

calling the method createNewAccountWithMenmonic() produces the following output

=======================> keys Promise {
  "_U": 0,
  "_V": 0,
  "_W": null,
  "_X": null,
} magic shock horror mail give slab way flat salt common spin scale armor barrel weird cactus stomach cotton punch sudden flash good slab marriage

I can`t figure out why the result is null.
Thanks for helping.

Got it. It missed an await. Thanks

Hey @Allen-Muhani thanks for self-answering your question :) For future reference, it would be super handy if you could copy/paste your working code (including the await below). That might help out future questions like yours. Thanks!
