buildFideIdFromParts

Build a Fide ID from type code, source code, and fingerprint (no hashing). Use when you already have the fingerprint (e.g. from a database) and need to reconstruct the full Fide ID. For computing a new Fide ID from a reference identifier, use `calculateFideId` instead.

Node Runtime Required

This function requires a Node.js runtime and is disabled in the browser docs preview.
buildFideIdFromParts(typeChar, referenceChar, fingerprint)

Parameters

typeCharstring*
Entity type code (2 hex chars, e.g. "10" for Person).
referenceCharstring*
Reference type code (2 hex chars, e.g. "20" for NetworkResource).
fingerprintstring*
Content hash fingerprint (36 hex chars).

Returns

Type

import { buildFideIdFromParts } from '@fide-work/id';

const result = buildFideIdFromParts(
  '10',
  '20',

);

Type Definitions

type FideId

Full Fide ID format (with did:fide:0x prefix). Length: 11 ("did:fide:0x") + 40 hex = 51 chars.

`did:fide:0x${string}`

assertFideId

Assert that a value is a properly formatted Fide ID. Valid format is: `did:fide:0x` prefix followed by exactly 40 hexadecimal characters (case-insensitive).

parseFideId

Parse a Fide ID into its constituent components. Decomposes a Fide ID into entity type code (2 hex), reference type code (2 hex), and fingerprint (36 hex), converting type/source codes to their corresponding entity type names.
