[D]jussir: <@178314946201780224> the voting system is veery simple. The app is used with live audiences so i doubt anyone has any interest in hacking it. So no authentication of any kind, just create a random user id (stored in localStorage) and set your vote with it: gun.get(namespace).get(userId).put(voteId). Before a new vote reset all votes to null's.
[D]danlugo92: might help to make my app more declarative
[D]Dletta: I think auth is an event, but it would be via Gun.on(‘auth’)

gun.on('auth') didn't work.gun = Gun()
Gun {_: {…}}
user = gun.user()
User {_: {…}}
gun.on('auth', console.log)

[D]Dletta: gun._.on(‘auth’ is how you would register the hook, but I wasn’t 100% sure. Mark will let you know once he comes online if there is an event
[D]danlugo92: actually it did work. Sorry :/.
Line gun.js:198 {gun: Gun, $: Gun, root: {…}, id: 4, back: {…}, …}
[D]danlugo92: that's the console log.
[D]danlugo92: need another cup of coffee
[D]Dletta: Lol
[D]danlugo92:
gun.on('leave') doesn't though. maybe it's another constant?
[D]jabis: and its code commented that Gun.on(auth should be moved to user to emit instead of root
@KINKCreative Hey, i really would like to help you out with gun-tag. Can you provide me with a basic example of what you are doing ( or how you use gun-tag) ? I use gun-tag all the time and to me the documentation looks solid, but then again...maybe i'm overlooking something that isn't well documented at all :(
thanks!
in object format way it's iterated there, the signature then should be
{""+url:{url:url}} not just empty object
now to sleep bbl ->
Is it possible to change a user alias after creation? I have an idea on how to create the user pubkey identity first (i.e. offline first), and add an alias later when negotiating with a server, since an alias is a global namespace the alias has to be negotiated to eliminate collisions, check for sybil attacks, alias theft, etc
@amark @jabis @Dletta thanks for all your help, I have promise-based tests using Tape and nodejs that can test multiple databases in one process. I can now start attacking my business logic. I basically made a thin wrapper around your API to encapsulate some idiosyncracies and confusing documentation. If you are interested I can put the result in a public repo. Meanwhile here's a gist that encapsulates some of the stuff I learned. https://gist.github.com/pszabop/61c3b7c36aa5fe866834fda4531d9219
@jabis there's already a catch-all documentation bug that discusses the peers syntax: amark/gun#70

[D]anoxy: @pszabop in fact it is possible to have aliases exactly as it works in Discord like anoxy#4831. <@280426612900757504> have implemented it in his platform https://www.peersocial.io/
So by doing it that way there won't be any name collisions
@Stefdv I am tagging items and then when I get to a view of one item (say, post), I’d like to get the tags for this item only. I made a custom getter for it as written but you may have a better solution to get all tags on a node (not all tags that exist in the system). I use it also to favorite items (eg tag with ‘like/userid’) and will use it for user “playlists” of items.

Anyone else - is there a way to mutate a value without referencing it (e.g. gun.get(‘someitem’).get(‘views’).inc() to increment? Maybe a custom chain method that will call a method on a node with itself as a parameter? That possibly is already written, I’m just thinking out loud here:
Gun.prototype.call( function( Function cb ) {
this.put(cb(this))
})And then we could do:
Gun.prototype.inc( function() {
this.call( function(x) { return x++ } )
})
@Klemen, maybe something along the lines:
Gun.chain.inc = function () {
let self = this;
this.get('.').once(function(data,key){
console.log("data",data,"key",key);
if(!data) data = 0;
data = data+1;
console.log("data",data,"key",key);
return self.put({[key]:data});
});
}
// usage:
gun.get('something').get('views').inc();
// read count
gun.get('something').get('views').get('.').once(function(count){ // count should be now 1 });
wrapper for the count could be
Gun.chain.curval = async function(){
return await this.get('.').then();
}
//usage:
let views= await gun.get("whatever").get("inc2").curval();
// should return whatever was incremented
