• Verifiable Credentials Barcodes

Security

TBD

Install

Requires Node.js 20+

To install via NPM:

npm install @digitalbazaar/vc-barcodes-context

Usage

import {contexts, metadata, named} from '@digitalbazaar/vc-barcodes-context';
// or
const {contexts, metadata, named} = require('@digitalbazaar/vc-barcodes-context');

The contexts Map can be used to access individual contexts by id or load them into a JSON-LD document loader. The metadata Map contains extra information about each context.

This package can be used with bundlers, such as webpack, in browser applications.

API

The library exports the following properties:

• contexts: A Map associating context URLs to context data.
• metadata: A Map associating context URLs to context metadata.
• named: A Map associating short package specific names to context metadata.

Note that the metadata format is experimental and subject to change. The id field is expected to stay stable and can be used with the named Map to get a context URL for a short name such as v1.

The context files are available in the published contexts/ directory. The metadata has a URL for each context. Note that these files are semantically equivalent to published spec contexts but the formatting may differ such that strict file digests are not equivalent.

Status

The following contexts are available as of early-2025. They track the published spec contexts.

• Verifiable Credentials Barcodes v1 context
  • URL: https://w3id.org/vc-barcodes/v1
  • Short name: v1
  • Status: stable

Developing

Source is available at:

• https://github.com/digitalbazaar/vc-barcodes-context

WARNING: The .jsonld files in contexts/ are auto-generated by the npm run build script each time the test suite is run.

DO NOT edit them directly since changes will be overwritten.

Make all context changes to lib/*.js.
