Create a DID-Linked Resource

This guide demonstrates how to create DID-Linked Resources using the cheqd SDK, with examples based on the SDK's test suite and common usage patterns. DID-Linked Resources allow you to associate data like schemas, credential definitions, status lists, and other artifacts with DIDs.

Prerequisites

Before creating DID-Linked Resources, ensure you have:

1. Installed and configured the cheqd SDK

2. Created a DID to link resources to

3. A funded wallet for paying transaction fees

4. Access to a cheqd network (testnet or mainnet)

5. The private keys associated with the DID's authentication methods

SDK Initialization

First, initialize the SDK with the required modules:

Basic SDK Setup

import { createCheqdSDK, ResourceModule, CheqdNetwork, AbstractCheqdSDKModule } from '@cheqd/sdk';
import { DirectSecp256k1HdWallet } from '@cosmjs/proto-signing';

// Initialize wallet from mnemonic
const wallet = await DirectSecp256k1HdWallet.fromMnemonic(
  'your twelve word mnemonic phrase goes here like this example', 
  { prefix: 'cheqd' }
);

// Create SDK instance
const sdk = await createCheqdSDK({
  modules: [ResourceModule as unknown as AbstractCheqdSDKModule],
  rpcUrl: 'https://rpc.cheqd.network', // testnet
  network: CheqdNetwork.Testnet,
  wallet: wallet
});

Advanced SDK Setup with Multiple Modules

import { 
  createCheqdSDK, 
  DIDModule,
  ResourceModule, 
  FeemarketModule,
  CheqdNetwork,
  createDefaultCheqdRegistry,
  CheqdSigningStargateClient,
  CheqdQuerier,
  setupResourceExtension,
  AbstractCheqdSDKModule,
  type ICheqdSDKOptions 
} from '@cheqd/sdk';

async function initializeAdvancedSDK() {
  const wallet = await DirectSecp256k1HdWallet.fromMnemonic(mnemonic, { 
    prefix: 'cheqd' 
  });
  
  const options: ICheqdSDKOptions = {
    modules: [
      DIDModule as unknown as AbstractCheqdSDKModule,
      ResourceModule as unknown as AbstractCheqdSDKModule, 
      FeemarketModule as unknown as AbstractCheqdSDKModule
    ],
    rpcUrl: 'https://rpc.cheqd.network',
    network: CheqdNetwork.Testnet,
    wallet: wallet
  };
  
  const sdk = await createCheqdSDK(options);
  
  // Initialize module instances for direct usage
  const registry = createDefaultCheqdRegistry([
    ...DIDModule.registryTypes,
    ...ResourceModule.registryTypes
  ]);
  const signer = await CheqdSigningStargateClient.connectWithSigner(
    'https://rpc.cheqd.network', 
    wallet, 
    { registry }
  );
  const querier = await CheqdQuerier.connectWithExtension(
    'https://rpc.cheqd.network', 
    setupResourceExtension
  );
  
  const resourceModule = new ResourceModule(signer, querier);
  
  return { sdk, resourceModule, wallet };
}

Resource Creation Examples

Example 1: Basic JSON Schema Resource

This example creates a JSON Schema as a DID-Linked Resource:

import { 
  createResourcePayload,
  toString,
  fromString,
  v4 as uuidv4,
  type ISignInputs
} from '@cheqd/sdk';

async function createJSONSchemaResource() {
  // Initialize SDK (see SDK setup above)
  const { resourceModule, wallet } = await initializeAdvancedSDK();
  
  // DID that will own this resource
  const collectionId = 'did:cheqd:testnet:your-existing-did';
  
  // Step 1: Define the JSON Schema content
  const schemaContent = {
    "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
    "$id": "https://example.com/person.schema.json",
    "title": "Person",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "firstName": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "The person's first name."
      },
      "lastName": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "The person's last name."
      },
      "age": {
        "description": "Age in years which must be equal to or greater than zero.",
        "type": "integer",
        "minimum": 0
      }
    },
    "required": ["firstName", "lastName"]
  };
  
  // Step 2: Convert content to bytes
  const data = new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(schemaContent, null, 2));
  
  // Step 3: Generate unique resource ID
  const resourceId = uuidv4();
  
  // Step 4: Create resource payload
  const resourcePayload = createResourcePayload({
    collectionId,
    id: resourceId,
    name: 'Person Schema',
    resourceType: 'JSONSchema',
    mediaType: 'application/json',
    data,
    version: '1.0.0',
    alsoKnownAs: [{
      uri: `https://schema-registry.example.com/schemas/${resourceId}`,
      description: 'Schema Registry Location'
    }]
  });
  
  console.log(`Created resource payload for: ${resourcePayload.header.name}`);
  
  // Step 5: Create sign inputs (must use DID controller keys)
  const signInputs: ISignInputs[] = [
    {
      verificationMethodId: `${collectionId}#key-1`,
      privateKeyHex: 'your-did-controller-private-key-hex', // Replace with actual key
    },
  ];
  
  // Step 6: Get fee payer and calculate fees
  const feePayer = (await wallet.getAccounts())[0].address;
  const fee = await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceJsonFees(feePayer);
  
  // Step 7: Create the resource
  // Note: This can also be called as sdk.createResourceTx(signInputs, resourcePayload, feePayer, fee)
  const resourceTx = await resourceModule.createResourceTx(
    signInputs, 
    resourcePayload, 
    feePayer, 
    fee
  );
  
  if (resourceTx.code === 0) {
    console.log('✅ JSON Schema resource created successfully!');
    console.log(`Resource ID: ${resourcePayload.header.id}`);
    console.log(`Collection ID: ${resourcePayload.header.collectionId}`);
    console.log(`Transaction hash: ${resourceTx.transactionHash}`);
    console.log(`Resource URI: ${collectionId}/resources/${resourceId}`);
    return {
      resourceId: resourcePayload.header.id,
      collectionId: resourcePayload.header.collectionId,
      transaction: resourceTx,
      resourcePayload
    };
  } else {
    throw new Error(`Failed to create resource: ${resourceTx.rawLog}`);
  }
}

Example 2: Credential Definition Resource

This example creates an AnonCreds Credential Definition resource:

async function createCredentialDefinitionResource() {
  const { resourceModule, wallet } = await initializeAdvancedSDK();
  
  // DID that will own this credential definition
  const collectionId = 'did:cheqd:testnet:issuer-did';
  
  // Credential Definition content (example structure)
  const credDefContent = {
    "issuerId": collectionId,
    "schemaId": "did:cheqd:testnet:schema-did/resources/schema-uuid",
    "type": "CL",
    "tag": "default",

      rpcUrl: 'https://rpc.cheqd.network', // testnet
      network: CheqdNetwork.Testnet,
      wallet: wallet
    });
    
    // DID that will own the resource (replace with your DID)
    const collectionId = 'did:cheqd:testnet:your-existing-did';
    
    // Create simple schema content
    const schemaContent = {
      "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
      "title": "Simple Example Schema",
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "name": { "type": "string" },
        "email": { "type": "string", "format": "email" }
      },
      "required": ["name", "email"]
    };
    
    console.log(`Creating resource for DID: ${collectionId}`);
    
    // Convert content to bytes
    const data = new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(schemaContent, null, 2));
    
    // Generate resource ID
    const resourceId = uuidv4();
    console.log(`Generated resource ID: ${resourceId}`);
    
    // Create resource payload
    const resourcePayload = createResourcePayload({
      collectionId,
      id: resourceId,
      name: 'Simple Example Schema',
      resourceType: 'JSONSchema',
      mediaType: 'application/json',
      data,
      version: '1.0.0'
    });
    console.log(`Created resource payload`);
    
    // Create sign inputs
    const signInputs: ISignInputs[] = [
      {
        verificationMethodId: `${collectionId}#key-1`, // Adjust based on your DID
        privateKeyHex: 'your-did-private-key-hex', // Replace with your actual private key
      },
    ];
    
    // Get fee payer
    const feePayer = (await wallet.getAccounts())[0].address;
    console.log(`Fee payer: ${feePayer}`);
    
    // Calculate fees
    const fee = await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceJsonFees(feePayer);
    console.log(`Calculated fee: ${JSON.stringify(fee)}`);
    
    // Create resource using SDK dot notation
    const result = await sdk.createResourceTx(signInputs, resourcePayload, feePayer, fee);
    
    if (result.code === 0) {
      console.log('✅ Resource created successfully!');
      console.log(`🆔 Resource ID: ${resourcePayload.header.id}`);
      console.log(`🔗 Collection ID: ${resourcePayload.header.collectionId}`);
      console.log(`📄 Transaction hash: ${result.transactionHash}`);
      console.log(`⛽ Gas used: ${result.gasUsed}`);
      console.log(`🌐 Resource URI: ${collectionId}/resources/${resourceId}`);
    } else {
      console.error(`❌ Failed to create resource: ${result.rawLog}`);
    }
    
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating resource:', error);
  }
}

// Run the example
main();

Error Handling and Validation

Resource Payload Validation

Before submitting to the ledger, validate your resource payload:

import { validateResourcePayload } from '@cheqd/sdk';

// Validate resource payload before submission
const validation = validateResourcePayload(resourcePayload);
if (!validation.valid) {
  throw new Error(`Invalid resource payload: ${validation.error}`);
}
console.log('✅ Resource payload validation passed');

Content Size Limits

Check resource content size limits:

const MAX_RESOURCE_SIZE = 200 * 1024; // 200KB limit (example)

if (data.length > MAX_RESOURCE_SIZE) {
  throw new Error(`Resource too large: ${data.length} bytes (max: ${MAX_RESOURCE_SIZE} bytes)`);
}
console.log(`✅ Resource size OK: ${data.length} bytes`);

Fee Calculation by Media Type

The SDK provides specific fee calculation methods based on the resource media type:

// For JSON-based resources (schemas, metadata, etc.)
const jsonFee = await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceJsonFees(feePayer);

// For image resources (PNG, JPEG, SVG, etc.)
const imageFee = await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceImageFees(feePayer);

// For other/unknown media types
const defaultFee = await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceDefaultFees(feePayer);

// Choose the appropriate method based on your resource type
const fee = resourcePayload.header.mediaType.startsWith('application/json') 
  ? await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceJsonFees(feePayer)
  : resourcePayload.header.mediaType.startsWith('image/')
  ? await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceImageFees(feePayer)
  : await ResourceModule.generateCreateResourceDefaultFees(feePayer);

DID Authorization Check

Verify that the signing keys have authority over the collection DID:

// Query the collection DID to verify authorization
const collectionDidDoc = await sdk.queryDidDoc(collectionId);
if (!collectionDidDoc.didDoc) {
  throw new Error(`Collection DID not found: ${collectionId}`);
}

// Check if verification method exists in the DID
const verificationMethodExists = collectionDidDoc.didDoc.verificationMethod?.some(

Best Practices

Resource Design

1. Meaningful Names: Use descriptive names that clearly identify the resource

2. Version Management: Use semantic versioning for resource versions

3. Media Types: Use appropriate MIME types for your content

4. Resource Types: Use standardized resource type names when possible

5. Size Optimization: Keep resources reasonably sized for network efficiency

Security Considerations

1. Key Management: Secure storage of private keys used for signing

2. Content Validation: Validate content before creating resources

3. Access Control: Ensure only authorized entities can create resources for a DID

4. Backup Strategies: Maintain backups of critical resources

5. Version Control: Track resource changes and maintain audit trails

Performance Optimization

1. Batch Operations: Group related resource creations when possible

2. Content Compression: Compress large text-based resources

3. Caching: Implement caching strategies for frequently accessed resources

4. CDN Integration: Use Content Delivery Networks for global distribution

5. Alternative URIs: Provide multiple access methods through alsoKnownAs

Common Resource Types

Standard Resource Types

• JSONSchema - JSON Schema definitions

• CL_SCHEMA - AnonCreds credential definitions

• BitstringStatusList - W3C Bitstring Status List for credential status

• Image - Images, logos, and graphics

• Documentation - API docs, specifications, guides

• EntityMetadata - Organization or entity information

• TermsOfService - Legal terms and conditions

• PrivacyPolicy - Privacy policies and data handling terms

Custom Resource Types

You can create custom resource types for specific use cases:

// Example custom resource types
const customResourceTypes = [
  'APISpecification',
  'ComplianceCertificate',
  'BusinessLicense',
  'ProductCatalog',
  'PricingModel',
  'ServiceAgreement'
];

Next Steps

After creating resources, you can:

• Update DID-Linked Resources

• Implement resource versioning strategies

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. DID Not Found: Verify the collection DID exists and is active

2. Insufficient Permissions: Ensure signing keys have authority over the collection DID

3. Resource Too Large: Check resource size limits and compress if needed

4. Invalid Media Type: Use proper MIME types for your content

5. Network Errors: Verify connection to the cheqd network

6. Fee Calculation Errors: Ensure wallet has sufficient funds
