This library a simple interface to interact with DIDs that conform to the DID-provider interface.

const wallet = new IdentityWallet(async () => true, {})
const alice = new DID(wallet.getDidProvider())
// Authenticate with the provider
await alice.authenticate()
// Read the DID string - this will throw an error if the DID instance is not authenticated
const aliceDID = alice.DID
// Create a JWS - this will throw an error if the DID instance is not authenticated
// CIDs and Buffers will be encoded to string
const jws = await alice.createJWS({ hello: 'world', link: new CID(...), data: Buffer.from('12ed', 'hex') })interface CreateJWSOptions {
