# DID Document Management

The API lets you generate or import DIDs, list them, and serve did:web documents.

## Endpoints

* POST `/did/generate`
  * Body: `{ "methods": ["empe", "empe-testnet", "web"] }`
  * Generates DID documents for the selected methods and persists them for the authenticated user.
* POST `/did/import`
  * Body: `{ "methods": [...], "mnemonics": "<12+ words>" }`
  * Restores/creates DID documents for the selected methods from a mnemonic phrase.
* GET `/dids`
  * Returns all DID documents for the authenticated user (across supported methods).
* GET `/dids/:method`
  * Returns the DID document for a specific method. `:method` is one of `empe`, `empe-testnet`, `web`.
* GET `/did/user/:id/did.json` (public)
  * Serves the canonical `did.json` for did:web. See “did:web & Hosting”.

## Examples

Generate DIDs for testnet and web:

```
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/did/generate \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"methods":["empe-testnet","web"]}'
```

Import from mnemonics:

```
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/did/import \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"methods":["empe"],"mnemonics":"abandon ability ..."}'
```

List all documents:

```
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' http://localhost:3000/dids
```

Get a single document:

```
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' http://localhost:3000/dids/web
```

Public did:web document (no auth):

```
curl http://localhost:3000/did/user/<userId>/did.json
```

## Notes

* did:web creation uses `DID_WEB_DOMAIN`, optional `DID_WEB_JSON_PATH`, and optional `DID_WEB_PORT` from the environment.
* `userId` is taken from the JWT `sub` and is used when constructing did:web paths.
* Methods map:
  * `empe` → mainnet
  * `empe-testnet` → testnet
  * `web` → did:web
