Background:
I am trying to encrypt a pouchdb database by using crypto-pouch library. I had a look at the example shown at https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/crypto-pouch But it doesn't seem to do anything for me.
My code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html ng-app="pouchdbApp"> <head> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script> <script src="pouchdbDemo.js"></script> <script src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/pouchdb/5.2.1/pouchdb.min.js"></script> <!-- <script src="crypto-pouch-master/bundle.js"></script> --> <script src="http://wzrd.in/standalone/crypto-pouch"></script> <script> var db = new PouchDB('kittens2'); var password = "mypassword"; db.crypto(password).then(function (publicKey) { console.log("publicKey"); console.log(publicKey); }); /* db.removeCrypto(); */ var doc = { "_id": "mittens", "name": "Mittens", "occupation": "kitten", "age": 3, "hobbies": [ "playing with balls of yarn", "chasing laser pointers", "lookin' hella cute" ] }; db.put(doc); db.get('mittens').then(function (doc) { console.log(doc); }); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>But my code doesn't see to do any encryption of the data entered, or i couldn't see any public key generated.
Any clue how i should be using the crypto-pouch library with pouchdb.

so the documentation is a bit confusing (which I just cleaned up) but when you call db.crypto it wraps the database so that documents are transparently encrypted and decrypted
db.crypto(password).then(function () { // <-- encryption set up }) and it will transparently encrypt documents you create and decrypt ones you read until you call
db.removeCrypto(); so if you want to test do something like
db.crypto(password).then(function () { return db.put({_id: 'foo', bar: 'baz'}); }).then(function () { return db.get('foo'); }).then(function (doc) { console.log('decrypted', doc); return db.removeCrypto(); }).then(function () { return db.get('foo'); }).then(function (doc) { console.log('encrypted', doc); })
