📄 DocumentStore

Before you can create or manage real-world identity documents, you need to set up repositories and storage for document types and documents. This should be done after initializing your secure storage components.

DocumentTypeRepository

A DocumentTypeRepository manages the metadata for different document types your app understands and uses.

• Standard Document Types: Multipaz provides a set of standard document types through the multipaz-knowntypes package, such as:
  • DrivingLicense
  • EUCertificateOfResidence
  • PhotoID
  • VaccinationDocument
  • VehicleRegistration
• Custom Document Types: You can define your own document types using the DocumentType.Builder factory method.

DocumentStore

A DocumentStore is responsible for securely holding and managing real-world identity documents, such as Mobile Driving Licenses (mDL), in accordance with the ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 specification.

• Initialization: Create a DocumentStore instance using either the buildDocumentStore function or the DocumentStore.Builder class.
• Dependencies: Pass the previously-initialized storage and secureAreaRepository to the DocumentStore.

Implementation

class App {
    // ...
    
    lateinit var documentTypeRepository: DocumentTypeRepository
    lateinit var documentStore: DocumentStore

    suspend fun init() {
        // ...
        documentTypeRepository = DocumentTypeRepository().apply {
        addDocumentType(DrivingLicense.getDocumentType())
        }
        documentStore = buildDocumentStore(
            storage = storage,
            secureAreaRepository = secureAreaRepository
        ) {}
    }
}

By clearly structuring the setup of DocumentTypeRepository and DocumentStore, you ensure your app is ready to manage identity documents securely and efficiently. Always perform this setup early in your app lifecycle, after initializing storage and secure areas.
