Background

See also (related specs):

• Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
• The did:null Method

A did:null method driver for the did-io client library and for standalone use.

The did:null method is used to express a DID Document representing nothing. Its format is:

did:null:null

That DID would correspond to the following DID Document:

Example DID Document

{
  "@context": [
    "https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1"
  ],
  "id": "did:null:null"
}

npm install --save @digitalbazaar/did-method-null

To install locally (for development):

Usage

generate()

To generate the did:null:null DID Document:

import {driver} from '@digitalbazaar/did-method-null';
const didNullDriver = driver();

// generate did:null:null
const {didDocument, keyPairs, methodFor} = await didNullDriver.generate();

methodFor is a convenience function that returns nothing.
