Define Convention

Asset convention is defined as a list of data items.

Index	Type	Description
0	String	First name of a user.
1	String	Middle name of a user.
2	String	Last name of a user.
3	String	Email address of a user.
4	Integer	Age of a user.

This can be converted into a merkle tree where leafs represent the values and the root represents the proof.

                    [0,0]             
                    99999               MerkleNode
            [1,0]               [1,1]
            88888               55555   MerkleNode

Usage

Create an instance of a merkle tree.

import { sha256 } from '@0xcert/crypto'; 
import { Merkle } from '@0xcert/merkle-tree'; 

const merkle = new Merkle({
  algo: sha256, 
});

Build merkle tree nodes from a list of values.

const allNodes = merkle.build([
  { index: 0, value: 'a' },
  { index: 1, value: 'b' },
  { index: 2, value: 'c' },
  { index: 3, value: 'd' },
  { index: 4, value: 'e' },
]);

Create a minimal list of nodes from which a tree root can be calculated.

const recipeNodes = await merkle.pack(
  allNodes, 
  [0, 2] // expose values `a` and `c`
);

Recalculate the tree root hash object.

const rootNode = await merkle.calculate([
  // values
  { index: 0, value: 'a' },
], [
  // nodes
  { level: 0, index: 0, hash: '0x...' },
  { level: 1, index: 0, hash: '0x...' },
  { level: 1, index: 1, hash: '0x...' },
  { level: 2, index: 0, hash: '0x...' },
]);
