IRMA dummy

This plugin contains a test dummy back-end for IRMA flows. With the dummy you can simulate different issues that may be hard to test otherwise, which is especially useful for developing front-end IRMA flow plugins.

This plugin takes no special parameters to the start method, but it can be configured through the options. See below.

Usage

const IrmaCore = require('@privacybydesign/irma-core');
const Dummy    = require('@privacybydesign/irma-dummy');

const irma = new IrmaCore({
  debugging: true,
  dummy: 'happy path'
});

irma.use(Dummy);
irma.start();

Options

dummy

The dummy option can take one of these values:

• happy path ⸺ Fake everything just working™️
• timeout ⸺ Fake a session time out on the server
• cancel ⸺ Fake cancellation in the IRMA app (don't have attributes or reject disclosure)
• connection error ⸺ Fake error connecting to the server on the initial session start
• browser unsupported ⸺ Fake an unsupported browser detected

debugging

This plugin listens to the debugging option, and will render some basic information when debugging is enabled.

qrPayload

If you want to customize what is shown in the QR code, you can pass anything to the qrPayload option.

successPayload

If you want to customize what the Promise resolves to, you can pass anything to the successPayload option.

timing

Finally, you can customize the timings of the different stages. Maybe you want to use the dummy in automated tests, and you set the time for each step to zero milliseconds. Maybe you want to make a nice interactive demo of something, and have more realistic timings. It's up to you.

These are the defaults:

const irma = new IrmaCore({
  timing: {
    start: 1000,
    scan: 2000,
    app: 2000
  }
});
