$ npm install blockstack

NOTE: If you uglify your the JavaScript, you'll need to exclude the following variable names from being mangled: BigInteger, ECPair, Point.

This is because of the function-name-duck-typing used in typeforce which is used by the dependency bitcoinjs-lib.

Example:

uglifyjs ... --mangle reserved=['BigInteger','ECPair','Point']

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 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").

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

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.

Please send pull requests against develop. Pull requests should include tests, flow static type annotations and be lint free.

Github issues marked help-wanted are great places to start. Please ask in a github issue or slack before embarking on larger issues that aren't labeled as help wanted or adding additional functionality so that we can make sure your contribution can be included!
