@hyperledger/aries-askar-nodejs

Aries Askar NodeJS

Wrapper for Nodejs around Aries Askar

Requirements

This library requires (and has been tested extensively with) Node.js version 18.x. Newer versions might also work, but they have not been tested.

Installation

yarn add @hyperledger/aries-askar-nodejs

Setup

You can import all types and classes from the @hyperledger/aries-askar-nodejs library:

import { Key, KeyAlgs } from '@hyperledger/aries-askar-nodejs'

const seed = Uint8Array.from(Buffer.from('testseed000000000000000000000001'))
const key = Key.fromSeed({ algorithm: KeyAlgs.Bls12381G1, seed })

Note: If you want to use this library in a cross-platform environment you need to import methods from the @hyperledger/aries-askar-shared package instead. This is a platform independent package that allows to register the native bindings. The @hyperledger/aries-askar-nodejs package uses this package under the hood. See the Aries Askar Shared README for documentation on how to use this package.

Version Compatibility

The JavaScript wrapper is versioned independently from the native bindings. The following table shows the compatibility between the different versions:

Aries Askar	JavaScript Wrapper
v0.2.9	v0.1.0, v0.1.1
v0.3.1	v0.2.0
