Implementations

impl Vade

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates new Vade instance, vectors are initialized as empty.

pub async fn did_create( &mut self, did_method: &str, options: &str, payload: &str ) -> Result<Vec<Option<String>>, Box<dyn Error>>

Creates a new DID. May also persist a DID document for it, depending on plugin implementation.

Arguments

• did_method - did method to cater to, usually also used by plugins to decide if a plugins will process the request
• options - JSON string with additional information supporting the request (e.g. authentication data)
• payload - JSON string with information for the request (e.g. actual data to write)

Example

use vade::Vade;
async fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut vade = Vade::new();
    // // register example plugin e.g. with
    // vade.register_plugin(example_plugin);
    let results = vade.did_create("did:example", "", "").await?;
    if !results.is_empty() {

    }
    Ok(())
}
