  • [x] a - Port key-related functions (generating key pairs, add encoded keys, attach proofs)
  • [x] b - Port DID related functions (generate DID doc, create crypto nym did)
• [x] 2 - Port did-client-veres-one functionality to did-io, add tests
  • [x] a - Extract "resolve ledger agent service" code
  • [x] b - Port get() function
  • [x] c - Port send() (send operation to ledger) function
  • [x] d - Port getObservable()
  • [x] e - Port sendToAccelerator()
• [x] 3 - Extract relevant API functionality from did-client, add tests
  • [x] a - Extract hostname-calculating functions
  • [x] b - Extract info() - gets DID Doc from local and from ledger
  • [x] Extract/port _getLedger() (fetches doc from ledger)
  • [x] Extract/port _getLocal() (involves refactoring of key storage, below)
  • [x] c - Extract register()
  • [x] d - Extract/port update()
  • [x] e - Extract key-management functions (add and remove authn key)

  • [x] import relevant keys from key store after fetching a DID Doc from ledger.
  • [x] implement an fs-based Key store
  • [x] implement an fs-based Metadata store
    • [ ] Log default metadata (time of creation, ledger name, ...?)
• [ ] 5 - Extract veres-one related code back into did-veres-one. (Initially ported into did-io for ease of refactoring while code is evolving.)
• [ ] 6 - Refactor did-client to be a CLI wrapper for did-io
  • [ ] Allow passing in of a logger to did-io (default to console)
• [ ] 7 - ? Refactor did-whisper/did-whisper-server to use new did-io
• [ ] 8 - Make did-io isomorphic (able to run in the browser via Webpack)
  • [ ] Replace relevant node-forge, ursa and chloride crypto code with browser-compatible equiv
  • [ ] Implement a Local Storage (IndexedDB etc) private key store for did-io

@msporny @davidlehn @dlongley - Updated PR description with roadmap / checklist.

[davidlehn]

Would be good to update the CHANGELOG as you go (I suggest rather late...).

@davidlehn

Would be good to update the CHANGELOG as you go

Sure! (I was thinking of just updating it when the PR was merged, though, something like "Major re-write.")

[davidlehn]

Re CHANGELOG, that's kind of why I suggested doing it as you go. Good to have a list of changes, at least high level, so anyone upgrading knows what changed and what they need to do to upgrade. With appropriate "BREAKING" comments and such.

@mattcollier:

does the change your referencing happen after the release we've discussed?

Yes, after the release.
