Documentation: timestamp wrapper

The TimestampWrapper class simplifies the usage of EBSI's Timestamp API (version 4). This class abstracts the complexities of interacting with EBSI's timestamping API, allowing developers to easily create, manage, and retrieve timestamp records and their versions. The class relies on a Wallet instance for signing transactions and an AuthorisationApi instance for managing authentication with EBSI.

Constructor

constructor(wallet: Wallet)

Creates a new instance of the TimestampWrapper class.

• Parameters:

  • wallet: Wallet: A Wallet instance used for signing transactions.

• Example:

  const wallet = new Wallet();
  const timestampWrapper = new TimestampWrapper(wallet);
  

Methods

timestampRecordHashes

Creates a timestamp record with the ability to be versioned.

• Parameters:

  • hashAlgorithmId: number: The ID of the hashing algorithm used. Use 0 for SHA-256.
  • hashValue: string: The hash value to be recorded. Unlike EBSI's Timestamp API, this method allows only one hash value instead of three.
  • versionInfo: string: Information about the version.
  • timestampData: string[] = ['']: Optional array of timestamp data.
  • waitMined: boolean = true: Optional command about whether to wait for the transaction to be mined.

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<{ hex: string; multibase: string }, Error>>: A Result object containing the record ID in hex and multibase format or an error.

timestampRecordVersionHashes

Creates a new version for a specific timestamp record.

• Parameters:

  • recordId: string: The ID of the record (in hex format).
  • hashAlgorithmId: number: The ID of the hashing algorithm used.
  • hashValue: string: The hash value to be recorded.
  • versionInfo: string: Information about the version.
  • timestampData: string[] = ['']: Optional array of timestamp data.
  • waitMined: boolean = true: Whether to wait for the transaction to be mined.

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<string, Error>>: A Result object containing the version ID or an error.

insertRecordOwner

Inserts a new owner for a specific timestamp record.

• Parameters:

  • recordId: string: The ID of the record (in hex format).
  • ownerId: string: The ID of the new owner (in ETH address format).
  • notBefore: number: The start time for ownership.
  • notAfter: number: The end time for ownership.
  • waitMined: boolean = true: Optional flag indicating whether to wait for the transaction to be mined.

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<string, Error>>: A Result object containing the owner ID or an error.

revokeRecordOwner

Revokes ownership of a specific timestamp record.

• Parameters:

  • recordId: string: The ID of the record (in hex format).
  • ownerId: string: The ID of the owner to revoke (in ETH address format).
  • waitMined: boolean = true: Optional flag indicating whether to wait for the transaction to be mined.

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<string, Error>>: A Result object containing the owner ID or an error.

getRecord

Retrieves details of a specific record by its ID.

• Parameters:

  • recordId: string: The ID of the record (in multibase format).

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<Record, Error>>: A Result object containing the record details or an error.

getRecordVersions

Retrieves the versions of a specific record by its ID.

• Parameters:

  • recordId: string: The ID of the record (in multibase format).

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<RecordVersions, Error>>: A Result object containing the record versions or an error.

getRecordVersionDetails

Retrieves details of a specific version of a record.

• Parameters:

  • recordId: string: The ID of the record (in multibase format).
  • versionId: string: The ID of the version.

• Returns:

  • Promise<Result<RecordVersionDetails, Error>>: A Result object containing the version details or an error.
