C Interface

At a Glance

• Of all the interfaces DIDKit exposes, the C library is closest to the Rust original.

• For a quick function & type reference, you can study the test.c file.

• A C header file can be built, but it resides in a separate crate that must be compiled separately after building DIDKit. Instructions can be found here.

• To build manually and just for Android, building from the C wrapper is faster and simpler than going through Flutter; for instructions, see the Android section below.

Installation

Install Rust and DIDKit as usual and then:

Build

# from DIDKit root directory:
make -C lib ../target/release/libdidkit.so

Test

# from DIDKit root directory:
make -C lib ../target/test/c.stamp

More detailed C tests can be found in the C library of the DIDKit repository on GitHub. This doubles as a comprehensive code snippet demonstrating key calls and responses in C.
