Usage

Initializing

import { Ed25519VerificationKey2020 }
  from '@digitalbazaar/ed25519-verification-key-2020'
import { X25519KeyAgreementKey2020 }
  from '@digitalbazaar/x25519-key-agreement-key-2020'
import { CryptoLD } from 'crypto-ld'

import * as didWeb from '@interop/did-web-resolver'

const cryptoLd = new CryptoLD()
cryptoLd.use(Ed25519VerificationKey2020)
cryptoLd.use(X25519KeyAgreementKey2020)

const didWebDriver = didWeb.driver({ cryptoLd })

// Optionally use it with the CachedResolver from did-io
import {CachedResolver} from '@digitalbazaar/did-io';
const resolver = new CachedResolver()
resolver.use(didWebDriver)

Generating a new DID

const { didDocument, keyPairs, methodFor } = await didWebDriver.generate()
