@dsnp/did-resolver-frequency v0.0.1

Overview

This package contains a resolver for the @dsnp/did-resolver library which enables resolution of did:dsnp:* DIDs on the Frequency blockchain.

Installation

npm install @dsnp/did-resolver-frequency

Usage

The resolver object can be constructed with Frequency connection information in one of two ways.

1. Construct with provider URI:

import { FrequencyResolver } from "@dsnp/did-resolver-frequency";

const frequencyResolver = new FrequencyResolver({
  providerUri: "ws://127.0.0.1:9944",
});

If constructed this way, you must call disconnect() to explicitly release the connection; the process will not exit if this is not done.

or,

2. Construct with preconfigured Promise<ApiPromise> object from @polkadot/api:

import { FrequencyResolver } from "@dsnp/did-resolver-frequency";

const frequencyResolver = new FrequencyResolver({
  apiPromise: myApiPromise, // from ApiPromise.create(...)
});

Summary of options:

See .env.example for example configuration.

Here's a full usage example with the DID resolver framework:

import { Resolver } from "did-resolver";
import dsnp from "@dsnp/did-resolver"; 

const frequencyResolver = new FrequencyResolver({
  providerUri: "wss://rpc.rococo.frequency.xyz",
});

const resolver = new Resolver(dsnp.getResolver([frequencyResolver]));
const myDid = "did:dsnp:13972";
const result = await resolver.resolve(myDid);
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));

frequencyResolver.disconnect();

/* Example output:

        "publicKeyMultibase": "z6MkuzE4hBVHTmwFff37ZuPQs9sbkdJo8jifN9sZ1jXbgyMp"
      }
    ],
    "keyAgreement": []
  },
  "didDocumentMetadata": {}
}
*/

CLI

The example above is provided as a command line script.

cp .env.example .env
npm run resolve -- 13972

Features

Currently this resolver implements the minimal functionality required to support lookup of public keys by DSNP applications.

• DSNP public keys with keyType 1 are listed in the keyAgreement array.
• DSNP public keys with keyType 2 are listed in the assertionMethod array.

Public keys are encoded using the Multikey type. The id consists of the DSNP DID and a URL fragment that is the same as the publicKeyMultibase value, which is a multicodec value in base58btc encoding. The decoded value for ed25519-pub keys will be 34 bytes, including the two-byte multicodec identifier.
