## 🚀 **Usage Examples**

### Basic GDAF Usage

```javascript
const bsv = require('smartledger-bsv')

// Initialize GDAF
const gdaf = new bsv.GDAF()

// Create DID
const privateKey = new bsv.PrivateKey()
const did = gdaf.createDID(privateKey.toPublicKey())

// Create email credential
const emailCredential = gdaf.createEmailCredential(
  issuerDID,
  subjectDID, 
  'user@example.com',
  issuerPrivateKey
)

// Validate against schema
const validation = gdaf.validateCredential(
  emailCredential, 
  'EmailVerifiedCredential'
)

// Generate ZK proof
const proof = gdaf.generateSelectiveProof(
  emailCredential,
  ['credentialSubject.verified'],
  gdaf.generateNonce()
)
```

### Standalone GDAF Bundle

```html
<!-- Browser usage -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/smartledger-bsv/bsv-gdaf.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const gdaf = new GDAF.GDAF()
  const did = gdaf.createDID(privateKey.toPublicKey())
</script>
```
