import {exportJWK, generateKeyPair} from 'jose';

const MNEMONIC = /* put your Algorand account mnemonic here and ensure its funded */

const ACCOUNT = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey(MNEMONIC);
const address = ACCOUNT.addr;

const sdk = new AscertifyID();

const { publicKey } = await generateKeyPair('ES256');
const pubKey = await exportJWK(publicKey);
const controller = ACCOUNT.addr;
const alsoKnownAs = 'https://ascertify.co';
const verificationMethod = {
    id: `did:ascertify:${ACCOUNT.addr}#keys-1`,
    type: 'JsonWebKey2020',
    controller: `did:ascertify:${ACCOUNT.addr}`,
    publicKeyJwk: {
        ...pubKey
    }
}
let did = await ascertify_sdk.createDID({address: address, controller:controller, alsoKnownAs: alsoKnownAs, verificationMethod: verificationMethod});
