Usage

The following code snippet provides a complete example of digitally signing
a verifiable credential using this library:

`javascript
import * as EcdsaMultikey from '@digitalbazaar/ecdsa-multikey';
import {DataIntegrityProof} from '@digitalbazaar/data-integrity';
import {createSignCryptosuite} from '@digitalbazaar/ecdsa-jcs-2019-cryptosuite';
import jsigs from 'jsonld-signatures';
const {purposes: {AssertionProofPurpose}} = jsigs;


// create the unsigned credential
const unsignedCredential = {
'@context': [
'https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1',
{
AlumniCredential: 'https://schema.org#AlumniCredential',
alumniOf: 'https://schema.org#alumniOf'
}
],
id: 'http://example.edu/credentials/1872',
type: [ 'VerifiableCredential', 'AlumniCredential' ],
issuer: 'https://example.edu/issuers/565049',
issuanceDate: '2010-01-01T19:23:24Z',
credentialSubject: {
id: 'https://example.edu/students/alice',
alumniOf: 'Example University'
}
};

// create the keypair to use when signing
const controller = 'https://example.edu/issuers/565049';
const keyPair = await EcdsaMultikey.from({
'@context': 'https://w3id.org/security/multikey/v1',
id: 'https://example.edu/issuers/565049#zDnaekGZTbQBerwcehBSXLqAg6s55hVEBms1zFy89VHXtJSa9',
type: 'Multikey',
controller: 'https://example.edu/issuers/565049',
publicKeyMultibase: 'zDnaekGZTbQBerwcehBSXLqAg6s55hVEBms1zFy89VHXtJSa9',
secretKeyMultibase: 'z42tqZ5smVag3DtDhjY9YfVwTMyVHW6SCHJi2ZMrD23DGYS3'
});

// export public key and add to document loader
const publicKey = await keyPair.export({publicKey: true, includeContext: true});
addDocumentToLoader({url: publicKey.id, document: publicKey});

// create key's controller document
const controllerDoc = {
'@context': [
'https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1',
'https://w3id.org/security/multikey/v1'
],
id: controller,
assertionMethod: [publicKey]
};
addDocumentToLoader({url: controllerDoc.id, document: controllerDoc});

// create suite
const ecdsaJcs2019Cryptosuite = createSignCryptosuite();
const suite = new DataIntegrityProof({
signer: keyPair.signer(), cryptosuite: ecdsaJcs2019Cryptosuite
});

// create signed credential
const signedCredential = await jsigs.sign(unsignedCredential, {
suite,
purpose: new AssertionProofPurpose(),
documentLoader
});

// results in the following signed VC
