verify client sdk

VERIFY aims to be the central repository for content license and provenance, equipping the world with a backend to verify the source and license of digital content.

VERIFY is a public library of signed digital assets with capabilities that allow for a single DRM solution for digital assets. Every asset stored in VERIFY is signed by a real world entity that attests to the provenance of the asset. The publisher declares the asset’s license for access and reference through a smart contract module.

verifymedia/client is a typesafe sdk for interacting with the verify protocol. It is written in typescript and is compiled to es6 and cjs bundles ensuring compatibility with nodejs.

Content Licensing

Each node in the ContentGraph can have a license specified for access and for reference. These licenses are smart contracts and hence can be programmatically enforced as per publisher needs.

Quick Start

Since VERIFY client sdk supports javascript, start by installing nodejs version 18 or higher.
Confirm the node version node --version in your terminal.

sdk requires:
```
"node": ">=18.15.0",
"npm": "9.5.0"
```

Set up a test project

mkdir test-verifymedia-client
cd test-verifymedia-client
npm init -y
touch index.mjs
npm i @verify-media/verify-client

Open test-verifymedia-client/index.mjs in your favorite IDE and add the following snippet

import { hashData } from '@verify-media/verify-client'
console.log(hashData('hello world'))

Head over to the terminal (within vscode or your favorite terminal which has the nodejs env setup) and try executing
```
node index.mjs
```
you should see some output like
```
0x47173285a8d7341e5e972fc677286384f802f8ef42a5ec5f03bbfa254cb01fad
```
