Resolving a did:prism

A did:prism DID can be resolved to a DID Document, which contains information about the DID, such as its public keys and services.

Resolving with the Agent​

If you have an Agent instance, you can use its castor instance to resolve a did:prism DID.

Here's an example of how to resolve a did:prism DID using the Agent:

import { Agent } from '@hyperledger/identus-sdk';

const agent = Agent.initialize({
  pluto: myPlutoInstance,
});

const did = 'did:prism:b6c0c33d701ac1b9a262a14454d1bbde3d127d697a76950963c5fd930605:Cj8KPRI7CgdtYXN0ZXIwEAFKLgoJc2VmsxEiECSTjyV7sUfCr_ArpN9rvCwR9fRMAhcsr_S7ZRiJk4p5k';
const didDocument = await agent.castor.resolveDID(did);

console.log(didDocument);

The resolveDID method will automatically handle both long-form and short-form DIDs. For short-form DIDs, it will use the configured resolverEndpoint to fetch the DID Document.

Resolving with Castor​

If you are using Castor directly, you can use the resolveDID method to resolve a did:prism DID.

Here's an example of how to resolve a did:prism DID using Castor:

import { Apollo, Castor } from '@hyperledger/identus-sdk';

const apollo = new Apollo();
const castor = new Castor(apollo);

const did = 'did:prism:b6c0c33d701ac1b9a262a14454d1bbde3d127d697a76950963c5fd930605:Cj8KPRI7CgdtYXN0ZXIwEAFKLgoJc2VmsxEiECSTjyV7sUfCr_ArpN9rvCwR9fRMAhcsr_S7ZRiJk4p5k';
const didDocument = await castor.resolveDID(did);

console.log(didDocument);
