did.document

The did.document module provides the Document class, which represents a single document in the database.

Document Class

The Document class is a container for the data and metadata associated with a document. It is created with a document type, which determines the schema that the document must adhere to.

Key Methods

• __init__(self, document_type='base', **kwargs): Creates a new Document object.
• id(): Returns the unique identifier of the document.
• set_properties(**kwargs): Sets the properties of the document.
• dependency_value(dependency_name, error_if_not_found=True): Returns the value of a dependency.
• set_dependency_value(dependency_name, value, error_if_not_found=True): Sets the value of a dependency.

Document Properties

The document_properties attribute of a Document object is a dictionary that contains the data and metadata for the document. The structure of this dictionary is defined by the document's schema.
