Determine how to specify outputting a different public key format #56

Open dlongley opened 1 year ago

dlongley commented 1 year ago

We have API changes to properly multiple key types (as identified by multibase-multikey headers) in #55. We should figure out how we want to layer using different public key formats on top of it -- or decide that it's not appropriate to do that at all and either:

  1. A different driver instance should be created with different fromMultibase plugins, OR
  2. Presume that cryptosuites should allow all the different formats they accept and perform the necessary conversions.

Some approach for this was taken in #47, but that PR built on a faulty API (that couldn't properly support multiple key types) so it also needs changing. It's unclear what we can preserve from #47 since it's doing a lot -- it needs to be split into smaller pieces that we can pull in.

We should add examples to the README showing how to use ed25519-multikey. (In addition to figuring out the above).
