NuID / node-cli

Provides an npm package `@nuid/cli` for interacting with NuID libraries and utilities like `nuid.zk`.

NuID :: nuid-cli

The nuid-cli provides an npm package at @nuid/cli with CLI interfaces to NuID Open Core libraries like nuid.zk. We expect the interface to grow over time, so all commands are organized with subcommands to invoke the proper functions.

Install

npm install @nuid/cli
# or
yarn add @nuid/cli

Usage

Since argument finagling is problematic on the shell, we require that you JSON-encode the argument vector for any given command you are invoking.

# Or just install it globally with `npm i -g @nuid/cli`
export PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin

# Print a list of top-level commands
nuid-cli --help

# Print a list of available sub-commands for zk
nuid-cli zk --help

# Returns a JSON-encoded verified credential
# Note the JSON-encoded argument vector
nuid-cli zk verifiableFromSecret '["my secret"]'

With this CLI available, you can now write full integration tests with NuID crypto material in languages other than JavaScript or Clojure. For example, in Ruby:

require "nuid-sdk"

class MyApiTest < ::Minitest::Test
  def test_credential_create
    api = ::NuID::SDK::API::Auth.new(ENV['NUID_API_KEY'])
    verified = zk('verifiableFromSecret', 'super secret password')
    res = api.credential_create(verified)
    assert_equal(201, res.code)
    nuid = res.parsed_response['nu/id']
    credential = res.parsed_response['nuid/credential']
    # ...
  end
  
  private
  
  def zk(command, *args)
    JSON.parse(%x{./node_modules/.bin/nuid-cli zk #{command} '#{args.to_json}'})
  end
end
