trustdidweb-ts v0.0.4
TrustedDID Web Typescript
trustdidweb-ts provides developers with a comprehensive library and resolver for working with Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) following the did:tdw
method specification. This Typescript-based toolkit is designed to facilitate the integration and management of DIDs within web applications, enabling secure identity verification and authentication processes. It includes functions for creating, resolving, updating and deactivating DIDs by managing DID documents. The package is built to ensure compatibility with the latest web development standards, offering a straightforward API that makes it easy to implement DID-based features in a variety of projects.
Summary
The trustdidweb-ts
implementation of the did:tdw
specification currently implements
the following features from the specification with the goal to be feature complete soon.
Completed | Feature | Details |
---|---|---|
DONE | Ongoing publishing of all DID Document (DIDDoc) versions for a DID | Includes publishing alongside a did:web DID/DIDDoc. |
DONE | The same DID-to-HTTPS transformation as did:web | - |
DONE | Ability to resolve the full history of the DID | Uses a verifiable chain of updates from genesis to deactivation. |
DONE | A self-certifying identifier (SCID) for the DID | Ensures global uniqueness, derived from the initial DIDDoc for portability. |
DONE | DIDDoc updates include a proof signed by the DID Controller(s) | Proof required for updates, authorized by the DID Controller(s). |
DONE | Optional mechanism for publishing "pre-rotation" keys | Helps prevent loss of control if an active private key is compromised. |
TODO | DID URL path handling | Defaults to resolve /path/to/file by DID-to-HTTPS translation, can be overridden. |
TODO | A DID URL path /whois | Automatically returns a Verifiable Presentation, if published by the DID controller. |

CLI Usage Guide
⚠️ Warning: The CLI is experimental beta software - use at your own risk!
Basic Syntax
bun run cli [command] [options]
Available Commands
1. Create a DID
Create a new DID with various configuration options:
bun run cli create \
--domain example.com \
--output ./did.jsonl \
--portable \
--witness did:tdw:witness1:example.com \
--witness-threshold 1
Key Options:
--domain
: (Required) Host domain for the DID--output
: Save location for DID log--portable
: Enable domain portability--prerotation
: Enable key pre-rotation security--witness
: Add witness DIDs (repeatable)--witness-threshold
: Set minimum witness count--next-key-hash
: Add pre-rotation key hashes (required with --prerotation)
2. Resolve a DID
View the current state of a DID:
# From DID identifier
bun run cli resolve --did did:tdw:123456:example.com
# From local log file
bun run cli resolve --log ./did.jsonl
3. Update a DID
Modify an existing DID's properties:
bun run cli update \
--log ./did.jsonl \
--output ./updated.jsonl \
--add-vm keyAgreement \
--service LinkedDomains,https://example.com \
--also-known-as did:web:example.com
Update Options:
--log
: (Required) Current DID log path--output
: Updated log save location--add-vm
: Add verification methods:- authentication
- assertionMethod
- keyAgreement
- capabilityInvocation
- capabilityDelegation
--service
: Add services (format: type,endpoint)--also-known-as
: Add alternative identifiers--prerotation
: Enable/update key pre-rotation--witness
: Update witness list--witness-threshold
: Update witness requirements
4. Deactivate a DID
Permanently deactivate a DID:
bun run cli deactivate \
--log ./did.jsonl \
--output ./deactivated.jsonl
