Summary

Types

t()

Functions

generate_id()

Generate a new unique message ID (UUID v4).

marshal(msg)

Serializes a Layr8.Message into a DIDComm JSON envelope map.

parse(data)

Parses an inbound cloud-node message envelope (with context + plaintext) into a Layr8.Message.

Types

t()

@type t() :: %Layr8.Message{
  attachments: [Layr8.Attachment.t()],
  body: map() | nil,
  context: Layr8.Message.Context.t() | nil,
  from: String.t(),
  id: String.t(),
  parent_thread_id: String.t(),
  thread_id: String.t(),
  to: [String.t()],
  type: String.t()
}

Functions

generate_id()

@spec generate_id() :: String.t()

Generate a new unique message ID (UUID v4).

marshal(msg)

@spec marshal(t()) :: map()

Serializes a Layr8.Message into a DIDComm JSON envelope map.

The result is suitable for encoding with Jason.encode!/1.

Example

msg = %Layr8.Message{id: "abc", type: "...", from: "did:ex:alice", to: ["did:ex:bob"], body: %{text: "hi"}}
Layr8.Message.marshal(msg)
# => %{"id" => "abc", "type" => "...", "from" => "did:ex:alice", "to" => ["did:ex:bob"], "body" => %{text: "hi"}}

parse(data)

@spec parse(map() | String.t()) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, term()}

Parses an inbound cloud-node message envelope (with context + plaintext) into a Layr8.Message.

Accepts a map (already JSON-decoded) or a JSON string.

Example

envelope = %{
  "context" => %{"recipient" => "did:ex:bob", "authorized" => true, "sender_credentials" => []},
  "plaintext" => %{"id" => "abc", "type" => "...", "from" => "did:ex:alice", "to" => ["did:ex:bob"], "body" => %{}}
}
Layr8.Message.parse(envelope)
