@getunid/node-wallet-sdk NPM

Introduction

The NodeJS SDK offers convenience and easy-to-use javascript modules for embedding digital wallet capabilities into your application. It enables you to operate decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials.

Installation

Add the @unid/node-wallet-sdk dependency:

npm install --save @unid/node-wallet-sdk

# OR

yarn add @unid/node-wallet-sdk

The NodeJS SDK uses MongoDB as a local repository to store keyRings by default. Please install and setup MongoDB in your application.

Configuration

Configuration should happen as early as possible in your application's lifecycle. Once you have set up a cloud agent in UNiD Studio, you will get values required for configuration.

import { UNiD } from '@unid/node-wallet-sdk'
import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb'

const uri = 'mongodb://username:password@localhost:27017'
const mongoClient = new MongoClient(uri, {
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
})

(async () => {
    // Connect to your mongodb
    await mongoClient.connect()
    
    // Initialize UNiD instance
    UNiD.init({
        clientId     : 'client_id',
        clientSecret : 'client_secret',
        encryptionKey: 'encryption_key',
        envNetwork   : 'testnet',
        localStorage : mongoClient
    })
})()

Values	Description
`clientId`	It is associated with each cloud agent for a tenant. A string consisting of 64 characters that can be retrieved from UNiD Studio.
`clientSecret`	A string consisting of 64 characters that can be retrieved from UNiD Studio. It is paired with the `clientId`.
`encryptionKey`	A string used to encrypt keyRings (digital wallet) with AES-256-CBC algorithm and store them in MongoDB.
`envNetwork`	The DPKI network to which the DID refers.
`localStorage`	A connection instance to MongoDB that must be initialized and instantiated outside of the UNiD libraries to MongoDB.

Tutorial

First create new DID in your application.

Create DID

import { UNiD, KeyRingType } from '@unid/node-wallet-sdk'

(async () => {
    try{
        const DID = await UNiD.createDidDocument(
            KeyRingType.Mnemonic,
            { length: 24 }
        )
        console.log('complete generating a DID:', DID.getIdentifier())
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('ERROR:', err)
    }
})()
