The Core

Introduction

Core contains the DID Core API (non React) which is the low level API allowing implementing advanced interactions and flows using the DID within a web application, the components and their variables, all the functions and their properties and the classes in DID and also the models

What is DID

Decentralized Identity (DID) leverages the decentralization of blockchain technology to enhance privacy and transparency and eliminate central authority. With DID, data and assets are stored in the user’s digital identity, placing the sole and full authority squarely in their hands. DID gives them more independence and frees them from invasive authentication and verification. Companies or organizations are also less vulnerable to cyberattacks such as data breaches as they store less user information in their databases.

Generate JSDoc documentation

JSDocs generates HTML documents that contain an in-depth explanation of how to set up DID and use its functions.

Before you can generate the documentation, you need to install yarn on your local machine.

1. In the root directory, run the command below:

yarn install

2. Open the did-api directory after the successful yarn installation.

3. To generate the HTML documents, run the following command:

yarn run jsdoc

This should generate a “docs” directory under did-api that contains four (4) HTML files:

• DidApi.ts.html
• global.html
• index.html
• ZippieDidAPI.html

4. Open the generated “docs” directory.
5. Open the index.html file in your browser. You should be redirected to the home page of the document.
