@klayr-did/klayr-decentralized-identifier
A library to work with W3C Decentralized Identifier (DID) for Klayr sidechains with the Klayr DID module
About Klayr
Klayr is an open-source blockchain application platform written in Javascript, designed to bridge the gap between accessibility and web3 adoption. Learn more about Klayr from their official website, as well as it's public GitHub Repository.
About did:klayr
Method
did:klayr
is a DID method specifically designed for Klayr sidechain, which outlines syntax, data model, and operations that adheres to W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) Specification.
A did:klayr
DID consist of a method, chainspace, namespace, and unique-id that suitable for specific, tailored, self-sovereign identity use case. An example of a did:klayr
identifier, is as follows:
did:klayr:enevti:address:kly9gxy8ua2n5sj7eqvtp554hvce8m39sy39sjwzu
Please refer to the did:klayr method spec draft for further explanation. As its still in under active development, community contribution will be much appreciated.
Getting Started
Sidechain Setup
Since this tool is tailored for Klayr-based sidechains, you need to start by setting up a blockchain client. You can find guidance on configuring your blockchain environment in the official Klayr Documentation, as well as in Klayr Discord #dev-discussion channel
Installation
npm install --save @klayr-did/klayr-decentralized-identifier
Usage
You can use this library to retrive on-chain DID Document data, and authorize whether a key is valid within DID document:
import did from '@klayr-did/klayr-decentralized-identifier';
import {cryptography} from 'klayr-sdk';
async function didExample() {
// get DID document from a sidechain node
const didDocument = await did.getDIDDocument('did:klayr:enevti:address:kly9gxy8ua2n5sj7eqvtp554hvce8m39sy39sjwzu', {ipc: '~/.klayr/enevti-core'});
// authorize a publicKey from a DID document
const privateKey = <your-private-key>
const publicKey = cryptography.ed.getPublicKeyFromPrivateKey(privateKey);
const relationships = await did.cryptography.method.getVerificationRelationship(didDocument, {publicKey: myPublicKey});
if (relationships.length > 0) {
// key is authorized
// do something
}
}
