@hashgraph/hedera-identify-snap/README.md

A snap for managing Decentralized Identifiers(DIDs)

# @hashgraph/identify

This repository contains code for Identify Snap that offers various features such as configuring hedera account, getting current did method, getting DID, resolving DID, getting Verifiable Credentials, creating Verifiable Credentials out of some arbitary JSON object, generating Verifiable Presentations from Verifiable Credentials and verifying VCs and verifying VPs.
Refer to the [Identify Snap Wiki](https://docs.tuum.tech/identify/) for more info on how the snap works and how to
integrate it into your own application.

MetaMask Snaps is a system that allows anyone to safely expand the capabilities of MetaMask. A _snap_ is a program that we run in an isolated environment that can customize the wallet experience.

## Github Actions

Linting, static analysis and testing via Jest are configured via Github Actions in the repository. Replication of these
steps locally is covered below.

## Getting Started

### Setup the development environment

```shell
yarn install && yarn start
```

### Unit Testing and Linting

Run `yarn test` to run the tests once.

Run `yarn lint` to run the linter, or run `yarn lint:fix` to run the linter and fix any automatically fixable issues.
Note that linting currently will run through ESLint and Prettier rules.

### Releasing & Publishing

The project follows the same release process as the other libraries in the MetaMask organization. The GitHub
Actions [`action-create-release-pr`](https://github.com/MetaMask/action-create-release-pr)
and [`action-publish-release`](https://github.com/MetaMask/action-publish-release) are used to automate the release
process; see those repositories for more information about how they work.

1. Choose a release version.

   - The release version should be chosen according to SemVer. Analyze the changes to see whether they include any breaking
     changes, new features, or deprecations, then choose the appropriate SemVer version.
     See [the SemVer specification](https://semver.org/) for more information.

2. If this release is backporting changes onto a previous release, then ensure there is a major version branch for that
   version (e.g. `1.x` for a `v1` backport release).

   - The major version branch should be set to the most recent release with that major version. For example, when
     backporting a `v1.0.2` release, you'd want to ensure there was a `1.x` branch that was set to the `v1.0.1` tag.

3. Trigger
   the [`workflow_dispatch`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_dispatch)
   event [manually](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/manually-running-a-workflow) for
   the `Create Release Pull Request` action to create the release PR.

   - For a backport release, the base branch should be the major version branch that you ensured existed in step 2. For a
     normal release, the base branch should be the main branch for that repository (which should be the default value).
   - This should trigger the [`action-create-release-pr`](https://github.com/MetaMask/action-create-release-pr) workflow to
     create the release PR.

4. Update the changelog to move each change entry into the appropriate change
   category ([See here](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/#types) for the full list of change categories, and the
   correct ordering), and edit them to be more easily understood by users of the package.

   - Generally any changes that don't affect consumers of the package (e.g. lockfile changes or development environment
     changes) are omitted. Exceptions may be made for changes that might be of interest despite not having an effect upon
     the published package (e.g. major test improvements, security improvements, improved documentation, etc.).
   - Try to explain each change in terms that users of the package would understand (e.g. avoid referencing internal
     variables/concepts).
   - Consolidate related changes into one change entry if it makes it easier to explain.
   - Run `yarn auto-changelog validate --rc` to check that the changelog is correctly formatted.

5. Review and QA the release.

   - If changes are made to the base branch, the release branch will need to be updated with these changes and review/QA
     will need to restart again. As such, it's probably best to avoid merging other PRs into the base branch while review
     is underway.

6. Squash & Merge the release.

   - This should trigger the [`action-publish-release`](https://github.com/MetaMask/action-publish-release) workflow to tag
     the final release commit and publish the release on GitHub.

7. Publish the release on npm.

   - Be very careful to use a clean local environment to publish the release, and follow exactly the same steps used during
     CI.
   - Use `npm publish --dry-run` to examine the release contents to ensure the correct files are included. Compare to
     previous releases if necessary (e.g. using `https://unpkg.com/browse/[package name]@[package version]/`).
   - Once you are confident the release contents are correct, publish the release using `npm publish`.

## Notes

- Babel is used for transpiling TypeScript to JavaScript, so when building with the CLI,
  `transpilationMode` must be set to `localOnly` (default) or `localAndDeps`.
- For the global `wallet` type to work, you have to add the following to your `tsconfig.json`:

  ```json
  {
    "files": ["./node_modules/@metamask/snap-types/global.d.ts"]
  }
  ```
