DCQL (Digital Credentials Query Language)

A TypeScript implementation of the Digital Credentials Query Language (DCQL, pronounced [ˈdakl̩]) - a JSON-encoded query language for requesting and validating Verifiable Presentations.

Overview

DCQL enables Verifiers to request Verifiable Presentations that match specific queries. The library provides functionality to:

• Create and validate DCQL queries
• Match queries against Verifiable Credentials
• Validate presentation results
• Handle various credential formats including mso_mdoc and dc+sd-jwt and w3c vc's.
• Create and parse DCQL queries from OID4VP Draft 22 up to Draft 29.

Installation

npm install dcql
# or
yarn add dcql
# or
pnpm add dcql

Quick Start

import { DcqlQuery, DcqlPresentationResult } from 'dcql';

// Create a DCQL query
const query = {
  credentials: [{
    id: 'my_credential',
    format: 'mso_mdoc',
    meta: { doctype_value: 'org.iso.7367.1.mVRC' },
    claims: [
      { 
        path: ['org.iso.7367.1', 'vehicle_holder'], 
        intent_to_reatin: true 
      },
      { 
        path: ['org.iso.18013.5.1', 'first_name'] 
      },
    ],
  }]
};

// Parse (structural) and validate (content) the query
const parsedQuery = DcqlQuery.parse(query);
DcqlQuery.validate(parsedQuery);

// Execute the query against credentials
const queryResult = DcqlQuery.query(parsedQuery, credentials);

Features

• Query Construction: Build structured DCQL queries with type safety
• Validation: Comprehensive query validation and parsing
• Credential Matching: Match credentials against query requirements
• Result Processing: Process and validate presentation results
• Type Safety: Full TypeScript support with detailed type definitions
• Format Support: Support for multiple credential formats
• Extensible: Easy to extend for custom credential formats

Query Result Structure

The query result provides detailed information about the match:

const queryResult = DcqlQuery.query(query, credentials);

// Check if query can be satisfied
console.log(queryResult.can_be_satisfied);

// Access matched credentials
console.log(queryResult.credential_matches);

// The result of a specific credential query
const credentialMatch = queryResult.credential_matches['credential_query_id'];
console.log(credentialMatch.success);                 // True if the query is fulfillable

Validating Presentations

Validate presentation results against queries:

const presentationQueryResult = DcqlPresentationResult.fromDcqlPresentation(
  {
    my_credential: [{
      credential_format: 'mso_mdoc' as const,
      doctype: 'org.iso.7367.1.mVRC',
      namespaces: {
        'org.iso.7367.1': { vehicle_holder: 'Martin Auer' },
        'org.iso.18013.5.1': { first_name: 'Martin Auer' },
      }
    }]
  },
  { dcqlQuery: query }
);
