• Proofs

A library for verifying blockstack profile proofs.

Note: this document uses ES6 in its examples but it is compiled down to Javascript (ES5) and is perfectly compatible with it. If you're using the latter, just make a few adjustments to the examples below (e.g. use "let" instead of "var").

Installation

$ npm install blockstack-proofs

Importing

ES6

import {
  validateProofs
} from 'blockstack-proofs'

Node

var blockstackProofs = require('blockstack-proofs')

Usage

let fqdn = "naval.id"
validateProofs(profile, fqdn).then((proofs) => {
  console.log(proofs)
})
