About

Blockstack JS is a library for profiles/identity, authentication, and storage.

The authentication portion of this library can be used to:

  1. create an authentication request
  2. create an authentication response

The profiles/identity portion of this library can be used to:

  1. transform a JSON profile into cryptographically-signed tokens
  2. recover a JSON profile from signed tokens
  3. validate signed profile tokens

The storage portion of this library can be used to:

  1. store and retrieve your app's data in storage that is controlled by the user

Note: this document uses ES6 in its examples but it is compiled down to Javascript (ES5) and is perfectly compatible with it. If you're using the latter, just make a few adjustments to the examples below (e.g. use "let" instead of "var").

Compatibility

Note: blockstack.js 0.14.0 and newer versions use a new on-disk format that is not backward compatible with prior versions.

Contributing

This repository uses the git flow branching mode.

The latest released code as deployed to npm is in master and the latest delivered development changes for the next release are in develop.

We use the git-flow-avh plugin.
