Package Exports

@iota/identity-wasm/node
@iota/identity-wasm/node/identity_wasm.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@iota/identity-wasm) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

IOTA Identity WASM

This is the beta version of the official WASM bindings for IOTA Identity.

API Reference

Account Examples

Low-Level Examples

Install the library:

Latest Release: this version matches the main branch of this repository, is stable and will have changelogs.

npm install @iota/identity-wasm

Development Release: this version matches the dev branch of this repository, may see frequent breaking changes and has the latest code changes.

npm install @iota/identity-wasm@dev

Build

Alternatively, you can build the bindings if you have Rust installed. If not, refer to rustup.rs for the installation.

Install wasm-bindgen-cli. A manual installation is required because we use the Weak References feature, which wasm-pack does not expose.

cargo install --force wasm-bindgen-cli

Then, install the necessary dependencies using:

npm install

and build the bindings for node.js with

npm run build:nodejs

or for the web with

npm run build:web

Minimum Requirements

The minimum supported version for node is: v16.0.0

NodeJS Usage

const identity = require('@iota/identity-wasm/node')

async function main() {

    // The creation step generates a keypair, builds an identity
    // and publishes it to the IOTA mainnet.
    const builder = new identity.AccountBuilder();
    const account = await builder.createIdentity();

    // Retrieve the DID of the newly created identity.
    const did = account.did();

    // Print the DID of the created Identity.
    console.log(did.toString())

    // Print the local state of the DID Document
    console.log(account.document());

    // Print the Explorer URL for the DID.
    console.log(`Explorer Url:`, identity.ExplorerUrl.mainnet().resolverUrl(did));
}

main()

Web Setup

The library loads the WASM file with an HTTP GET request, so the .wasm file must be copied to the root of the dist folder.

Rollup

Install rollup-plugin-copy:

$ npm install rollup-plugin-copy --save-dev

Add the copy plugin usage to the plugins array under rollup.config.js:

// Include the copy plugin
import copy from 'rollup-plugin-copy'

// Add the copy plugin to the `plugins` array of your rollup config:
copy({
  targets: [{
    src: 'node_modules/@iota/identity-wasm/web/identity_wasm_bg.wasm',
    dest: 'public',
    rename: 'identity_wasm_bg.wasm'
  }]
})

Webpack

Install copy-webpack-plugin:

$ npm install copy-webpack-plugin --save-dev

// Include the copy plugin
const CopyWebPlugin= require('copy-webpack-plugin');

// Add the copy plugin to the `plugins` array of your webpack config:

new CopyWebPlugin({
  patterns: [
    {
      from: 'node_modules/@iota/identity-wasm/web/identity_wasm_bg.wasm',
      to: 'identity_wasm_bg.wasm'
    }
  ]
}),

Web Usage

import * as identity from "@iota/identity-wasm/web";

identity.init().then(() => {

  // The creation step generates a keypair, builds an identity
  // and publishes it to the IOTA mainnet.
  let builder = new identity.AccountBuilder();
  let account = await builder.createIdentity();

  // Retrieve the DID of the newly created identity.
  const did = account.did();

  // Print the DID of the created Identity.
  console.log(did.toString())

  // Print the local state of the DID Document
  console.log(account.document());

});

// or

(async () => {
  
  await identity.init()
    
  // The creation step generates a keypair, builds an identity
  // and publishes it to the IOTA mainnet.
  let builder = new identity.AccountBuilder();
  let account = await builder.createIdentity();

  // Retrieve the DID of the newly created identity.
  const did = account.did();

  // Print the DID of the created Identity.
  console.log(did.toString())

  // Print the local state of the DID Document
  console.log(account.document());
  
})()

// Default path is "identity_wasm_bg.wasm", but you can override it like this
await identity.init("./static/identity_wasm_bg.wasm");

identity.init().then(<callback>) or await identity.init() is required to load the wasm file (from the server if not available, because of that it will only be slow for the first time)
