Can someone point me to the best working open-source example of gun ACL in 2022?
Do you mean Access Control List? If so, you would use SEA.encrypt()and SEA.decrypt() along with SEA.certify() to create access/read/write policies. https://gun.eco/docs/SEA#certify

Good Afternoon, I'm currently trying to set up gun as a p2p backend for my decentralised application. I'm using gun in react and and currently testing my understanding my adding and removing items from a set according to a form input. I retrieve the 'items' set from gun using:
const gunItems = gun.get('items');Then add a new item to the set by doing:
const newItem = gun.get(keccak256(formData).toString('hex')).put({data: formData})
gunItems.set(newItem);In this case, I'm creating objects in gun where the key is the hash of the data in the form of hash(data) : {data: formData}.
I'm "deleting" data using:
gunItems.get(keccak256(formData).toString('hex')).put(null);After adding "a", "b", then deleting "a" and looking at my local storage, I can see that within the items set, hash(a) : null. However, the object hash(a) : {data: "a"} still exists outside of the set. Shouldn't all values associated with hash(a) be null?
@AlexZan: If you want to store files in Gun, you encode them as base64 text and save them, but that's not really the best way to do it, I wouldn't use Gun for that
gun.eco seems down for me, no content is loaded on page

is there a part of the doc that explains how this works
root.on('out', {'@': msg['#'], '#': root.ask(open), ok: {rtc: {offer: offer, id: opt.pid}}});?
Yeah @AlexZan, you can definitely chunk the image, encode it and save it but as the images get bigger it gets more difficult. And also take in account that base64 encoding means your files get 37% larger (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Base64) due to the fact that it uses sequences of 6 bits but BLOBs use 8 bit sequences
Depending on your use case i'd look into other technologies that are more well suited for this. IPFS is a great example
Is there a way to remove these from console:

@champ5898 We've talked about moving console.log in gun over to an error event handler, but it's lower on the priority list than upgrading gun's DHT. You could potentially turn off all console logging:
let cl = console.log
console.log = {}
// Turn back on:
console.log = clBut please keep the welcome message unless you are paying for professional support

I agree with @alterx … something which exceeds heap space (2Mbyte files in browser afaik) ought to be uploaded to a CDN, or S3, or even IPFS. Once you’ve encrypted the image (by chunking the base64 files), it doesn’t actually matter where the file is stored, because no one can actually open it
To keep it P2P

@alterx: I have a question for you in React Native. How would you approach resetting the gun instance (ie. creating a new one), if the one which is worked upon is setup in a context provider
Make sure to add a signature of sorts to your encrypted files
I usually just sign the first base64 chunk with the public key of the user sending the file

I'm having a very mysterious bug, where I'm trying to pass a IGunUserInstance around from a factory function to a client function, but the object seems to be mutated when it exits my factory function.
If I return user.get.bind(user) directly, then there is no problem. But if I return user (const user = gun.user()), then the object outside the factory function is different and "loses" the .get method.
Does this talk to anyone?
The factory function code is:
function userFactory() {
const user = gun.user()
return new Promise(resolve => {
gun.on('auth', () =>{
console.log(user.get); // fine
resolve(user);
});
});
}
Client function code:
userFactory().then(user => {
console.log(user.get); // undefined
})
Hey! Did this ever get solved? I seem to still have the error. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69070363/gunjs-user-not-getting-authenticated-in-incognito-window
I believe you but I haven't seen anything like that in the recent years, I would be surprised if this is what I'm hitting in this case.
I just noted that I've ran into these weird
const issues when dealing with JS prototypal inheritance (chains) earlier, so you might be wise to test :)
If I return
user directly (not in a promise), then there is no problem either. I will investigate more later, the problem might be in the framework and not gun.
this usually being window or global but within gun chain it should be the gun instance
I mean I made a test class with regular properties and methods and it wasn't broken.
a lot of pre ES5 stuff happening
especially in the chaining functions
so context switch from window(.Gun) to Promise where you're trying to invoke the reactive gun.on listener easily can lose the actual context

.put( is dumb simple, .set( is a convenience wrapper that covers 2+ "array-like" edge cases: Loosely-Ordered Appends & Mathematical Sets (tables), but likewise, requires more understanding to use / checking docs. I'd love if this could be simplified, but like with ACLs, the nature of these things in any system (centralized or not) have nuances to them. Honestly, that is why I prefer more key/value object stores: they're pretty dumb simple & predictable to use.@leoncstew :clap: @draeder .

@acblackburn lovely use case! Correct. 2 things to be aware of / help you out: (A) just
put(formData) not put({data: formData}), (B) doing .put(null) nulls out the LINK to the data (GUN is a graph database), it doesn't null the data itself, unless (C) you serialize your formData as a string? (maybe a bad idea), then when you do .put("the form data") and later .put(null) the null overwrites the bytes of the previous string/text, because the data was saved in-place not as a link to another data node.... still catching up ... will continue more later ...

@ is ACK, # is msg ID, ok means no error. A new thing (as of this last couple months) is we're officially supporting "hijacking" ACK/OK responses with custom data / behavior, which is how the WebRTC module is generating its SDP negotiation handshake as a RPCed state machine. But as far as GUN / wire, its just ACK / ID / OK. It doesn't know any better.@champ5898 :clap: @draeder - we're unable to prevent websocket errors from logging tho, that is at the Browser level. @champ5898 are you using AXE?

Hi. Can I use gun instead of orbitdb to have a simple key:value store that is mutable ? Does it have http or other kind of api so I can use from a non-js code base?
