Usage

Creating and Signing a Credential

import { getDidResolver } from "@agentcommercekit/did"
import { createJwtSigner } from "@agentcommercekit/jwt"
import { generateKeypair } from "@agentcommercekit/keys"
import { createCredential, signCredential } from "@agentcommercekit/vc"

const issuerDid = createDidWebUri("https://issuer.example.com")

// Create credential
const credential = createCredential({
  type: "ExampleCredential",
  issuer: issuerDid,
  subject: "did:example:subject",
  attestation: {
    claim: "value"
  }
})

// Sign credential
const resolver = getDidResolver()
const issuerKeypair = await generateKeypair("secp256k1")
const signer = createJwtSigner(issuerKeypair)

const { jwt, verifiableCredential } = await signCredential(credential, {
  did: issuerDid,
  signer,
  resolver
})

// jwt - signed credential in jwt form
// verifiableCredential - signed credential object

Verifying a Credential

import {
  verifyParsedCredential,
  parsedJwtCredential
} from "@agentcommercekit/vc"

// Parse JWT credential
const parsed = await parsedJwtCredential(jwt, resolver)

// Verify credential
await verifyParsedCredential(credential, {
  resolver,
  trustedIssuers: ["did:example:issuer"]
})

Revocation

import { makeRevocable, isRevoked } from "@agentcommercekit/vc"

// Make credential revocable
const revocableCredential = await makeRevocable(credential, {
  id: "https://example.com/status/1#0"
  statusListUrl: "https://example.com/status/1",
  statusListIndex: 0
})

// Check if credential is revoked
const revoked = await isRevoked(credential)

API Reference

Creation and Signing

• createCredential(params) - Create a new unsigned W3C Verifiable Credential
• signCredential(credential, options) - Sign a credential and return both JWT and parsed formats
• isCredential(value) - Type guard for W3C Verifiable Credentials

Verification

• verifyParsedCredential(credential, options) - Verify a credential's proof, expiration, and other claims
• verifyProof(proof, resolver) - Verify a credential's proof
• isExpired(credential) - Check if a credential is expired
• isRevoked(credential) - Check if a credential has been revoked
• parsedJwtCredential(jwt, resolver) - Parse a JWT credential string into a W3C Credential

Revocation

• makeRevocable(credential, options) - Add revocation status to a credential
• createStatusListCredential(options) - Create a credential for status list management

Schema Validation

// Zod v4 schemas
import { credentialSchema } from "@agentcommercekit/vc/schemas/zod/v4"

// Zod v3 schemas
import { credentialSchema } from "@agentcommercekit/vc/schemas/zod/v3"

// Valibot schemas
import { credentialSchema } from "@agentcommercekit/vc/schemas/valibot"
