Create and manage Dyne.org's W3C-DID in JavaScript

🚀 Quick start

Start by reading the documentation to understand better how Dyne.org's W3C-DID works

https://dyne.org/W3C-DID

💾 Install

Stable releases are published on https://www.npmjs.com/package/dyne-did that have a slow pace release schedule that you can install with

yarn add @dyne/did
# or if you use npm
npm install @dyne/did

🎮 Usage

The bindings are composed of four main functions:

• createKeyring: takes as input a string that will be used as description inside the did document and return the string under the key controller along with your keyring.
• createRequest: takes as input the output of the above function along with a string containg the domain and a DidActions value and return an unsigned request that will later be signed by an admin.
• signRequest: takes as input an unsigned request, the signer keyring and the signer domain and return the signed request ready to be sent in order to create, update or deactivate a did document.
• sendRequest: takes as input an endpoint and a request and sends the latter to did.dyne.org/*endpoint*.

There are other functions related to particular domains as well, but the functioning is almost identical.

All functions return a Promise.

To start using the Dyne.org's W3C-DID you have to create a domain admin request and send it to us. This can be created by using:

import { createKeyring, createRequest, DidActions } from "@dyne/did";
// or if you don't use >ES6
// const { createKeyring, createRequest, DidActions } = require('@dyne/did')

// Create a new did document request
const keyring = await createKeyring("new_domain_admin_request");
const request = await createRequest(keyring, "domain_A", DidActions.CREATE);
console.log(request);

Once your request has been accepted people can create a request for a special context of your domain in the following way:

import { createKeyring, createRequest, DidActions } from "@dyne/did";
// or if you don't use >ES6
// const { createKeyring, createRequest, DidActions } = require('@dyne/did')

// Create a new did document request
const keyring = await createKeyring("new_domain_context_admin_request");
const request = await createRequest(keyring, "domain.context_A", DidActions.CREATE);
console.log(request);

This request will be sent to you and you will have to sign it and you or the participant will send the result to did.dyne.org in order to create the new did document.

import { signRequest, sendRequest } from "@dyne/did";
// or if you don't use >ES6
// const { signRequest, sendRequest } = require('@dyne/did')

//Sign and send did document request
const signedRequest = await signRequest(request, keyring, "domain_A");
const result = await sendRequest("api/v1/domain/pubkeys-accept.chain", signedRequest);

Update and deactivate procedure follow the same idea.
