To get started we will create a test that writes a nym with an image, then retrieves it from the ledger, and finally checks the returned image is correct.
In indy_node/test/nym_txn/test_nym_additional.py around line 90 add this test.

Code Block

language	py
title	test_nym_img

def test_nym_img(looper, sdk_pool_handle, sdk_wallet_steward, endorser_did_verkey):
    # prepare txn
    did, verkey = endorser_did_verkey
    nym_request, _ = looper.loop.run_until_complete(
        prepare_nym_request(sdk_wallet_steward, None,
                            None, ENDORSER_STRING, did, verkey, False if verkey else True))
    # modify transaction to include image
    hyperledger_logo = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/indy-node/master/collateral/logos/indy-logo.png'
    txn = json.loads(nym_request)
    txn['operation']['img'] = hyperledger_logo # don't do this, avoid private data on ledgers
    request_couple = sdk_sign_and_send_prepared_request(looper, sdk_wallet_steward,
                                                        sdk_pool_handle, json.dumps(txn))
    sdk_get_and_check_replies(looper, [request_couple])
    # check image is in the nym
    rep = get_nym(looper, sdk_pool_handle, sdk_wallet_steward, did)
    assert rep[0][1]['result']['data']
    assert json.loads(rep[0][1]['result']['data'])['img'] == hyperledger_logo

Inside /node/Inside indy_node/test/nym_txn directory, pytest -k test_nym_img should result in a failing test.

Now that we have a failing test we can start updating nym write txn transaction types. In indy_common/types.py there is a class called ClientOperationField around line 470. This class extends operations. Looks like Indy Node does not change the basic nym operations, we can will borrow some code from Indy Plenum that defines a new operation. In anticipation add a new operation we We will define in the next step above this class. steps a new ClientNYMOperation. Since we are here let's add the instantiation inside _specific_operations.

Code Block

language	py
title	nym operation

...
class ClientOperationField(PClientOperationField):
    _specific_operations = {
        NYM: ClientNYMOperation(), # <----- new operation
        SCHEMA: ClientSchemaOperation(),
        ATTRIB: ClientAttribOperation(),
...

Around line 72 we will copy in the ClientNYMOperation class from Indy Plenum with our extra img field.

Code Block

language	py
title	nym operation

class ClientNYMOperation(MessageValidator):
    schema = (
        (TXN_TYPE, ConstantField(NYM)),
        (ALIAS, LimitedLengthStringField(max_length=ALIAS_FIELD_LIMIT, optional=True)),
        (VERKEY, VerkeyField(optional=True, nullable=True)),
        (TARGET_NYM, DestNymField()),
        (ROLE, RoleField(optional=True)),
        (IMG, LimitedLengthStringField(max_length=RAW_FIELD_LIMIT, optional=True)) # <----- new image field
    )

We also need to update some imports. Some of which we will define in the next steps.

Code Block

language	py
title	nym operation

...
# include  ALIAS, VERKEY from plenum.common.constants
from plenum.common.constants import TARGET_NYM, NONCE, RAW, ENC, HASH, NAME, \
    VERSION, FORCE, ORIGIN, OPERATION_SCHEMA_IS_STRICT, OP_VER, ALIAS, VERKEY
...
# include VerkeyField, DestNymField from plenum.common.messages.fields
from plenum.common.messages.fields import ConstantField, IdentifierField, \
	...
    AnyMapField, NonEmptyStringField, DatetimeStringField, RoleField, AnyField, FieldBase, VerkeyField, DestNymField
...
from plenum.config import JSON_FIELD_LIMIT, NAME_FIELD_LIMIT, DATA_FIELD_LIMIT, \
    NONCE_FIELD_LIMIT, \
    ENC_FIELD_LIMIT, RAW_FIELD_LIMIT, SIGNATURE_TYPE_FIELD_LIMIT, ALIAS_FIELD_LIMIT
...
# include NYM, IMG from indy_common.constants
from indy_common.constants import TXN_TYPE, ATTRIB, GET_ATTR, \
	...
    RICH_SCHEMA_PRES_DEF, RS_PRES_DEF_TYPE_VALUE, NYM, IMG

Now that we have a test, updated operator field we need to define the 'NYM' string constant. Inside indy_common/constants.py define a new NYM constant around line 14.
1. Code Block
  language py
  title nym constant
  # NYM IMG = "img"

With the client operation for nym updated we will have txns transactions with our new "img" field. We now can update the nym handler.

inside indy_node/server/request_handlers/domain_req_handlers/nym_handler.py we will add a check for the img field, if present, store it. on On line 78, add the check inside of update_state with supporting NYM import.

Code Block

language	py
title	nym handler

...
from indy_common.constants import IMG, NYM <--- include NYM
...
     def update_state(self, txn, prev_result, request, is_committed=False):
		...
        if IMG in txn_data: # check for IMG field
            new_data[IMG] = txn_data[IMG] # store IMG
        ...

In side /node/Inside indy_node/test/nym_txn directory, pytest -k test_nym_img should result in a passing test.
Celebrate!
