Gun user-space and public graph get/set with signing and encryption

gun.helper.js

/**
 * get and put encrypted and/or signed material to paths in Gun
 * FIXME: Investigate why root level put doesn't work
 * 
 * DONE: Add signing to make objects unwritable by others 
 * Changes: 
 * - 25.02.2020 
 * - added mergedeep to better merge deeper objects between themselves
 * - added pair.osign option to only sign not encrypt when passing existing pairs

Hi,
Just a friendly reminder about what I am waiting for :)
I am looking forward to use this in my project :))

Best regards Zilveer

Handling a family pet emergency, so will take a little longer unfortunately

@jabis sorry to hear, hope everything is going good.

Just eager to your helper class released soon so I can use it in my app :)

Best regards Zilveer

Hi, just to let you know I haven't forgotten you guys, working on this now for the rest of the week :)
@zilveer @anoxxy, updating now with yet incomplete version

@jabis That is great to hear, hope you pet is better now!

Would you mind to add some kind of callback functionaltity to putenc, putsenc as it works in put(obj, cb)?
It would also be awesome if you can add the callback feature to the standalone functionalities!

Best regards Zilveer

I'm not a fan of callback-hell but I'll see if I can make it somewhat compatible. The thing is I'm plucking this out of the framework and replacing things that I rely on elsewhere with vanilla, so it's a little chore to do :D

@zilveer https://gist.github.com/jabis/a3b7d5b475ef23fb859d3acabe9325cb#file-myhelper-js-L24-L65 here I'm now trying upon creation to return the ref to the gun chain for further use, well we'll see at the end of the week if I can wrap my head around how to mold the Gun.chain to somewhat sane implementation ^^

Note: that's now write protected and put(s)enc can't yet touch it - have to solve the signing (Nug to use) there, but gun.get('~createdpubkeystuff').getenc("testing/encryption/321",pair) is indeed working already

@zilveer, all my methods work with await or .then(function(woot){ console.log(woot); }) instead of adding callbacks

Now you can manipulate data with
createRWEResource/getenc/put(s)enc like:

testresource = await createRWEResource("testing/encryption/321",{'data':'I','want':'to',encrypt:'true'},gun.user()._.sea);
console.log(testresource); // {id,key,gunref,pair}
//and directly read with getenc (well might need a little setTimeout if like me it takes awhile to push changes to peers)
await gun.user().getenc("testing/encryption/321");
//and directly write with putenc 
await gun.user().get("testing/encryption/321").putenc({some:"more",data:"here"});

Note createRWEResource currenctly acts like .putsenc overwriting the data

tidbit: the method createRWEResource comes from create ReadWriteprotectedEncryptedResource - gonna come up with a better name soon :D

@jabis wow such improvement over the current coding. You should indeed have this as a repo instead for GUN or else it is somehow "hidden" from public.

I really like what you have achieved so far, thumbs up !

Regards Zilveer
