db.crypto is not a function ('undefined')

See original GitHub issue

Trying to run this in the browser. And I’m at a loss.

var db = PouchDB('dudes'); db.crypt('password').then(console.log(db))

returns

Uncaught TypeError: db.crypt is not a function at <anonymous>:2:6 at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:875:140) at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:808:34) at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:664:21)(anonymous function) @ VM33737:2InjectedScript._evaluateOn @ VM33252:875InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap @ VM33252:808InjectedScript.evaluate @ VM33252:664

Umm… File loaded? Yup.

console.log(crypto)
cryto: {
_subtle: {
  decrypt() {...}
  encrypt() {...}
...

Oh cool.

function myEncrypt(x) {
  crypto.subtle.encrypt(x)
}
myEncrypt(db);
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to execute 'encrypt' on 'SubtleCrypto': 3 arguments required, but only 1 present.
    at TypeError (native)
    at myEncrypt (<anonymous>:3:17)
    at <anonymous>:2:1
    at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:875:140)
    at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:808:34)
    at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:664:21)

Umm, huh?

console.log(crypto.self.encrypt);
encrypt() { [native code] }

I’m sooooo lost. I’m guessing native code is crap from V8, since it looks like this is running VM’s. Am I right? Honestly, I really need more documentation than add this browserified file like normal.

I tried looking through the source code but then my brain overheated.

Do I need to also download the browseried version of crypto-browserify?

Is it even worth pursuing this? You haven’t checked-in for 5 months…

Thanks for your hard work.

@paynoattn I had a similar issue. I just noticed that Nolan uses another script in his example than the one mentioned in readme.md… So instead of using the one linked from the readme page: http://wzrd.in/bundle/crypto-pouch I tried this one: http://wzrd.in/standalone/crypto-pouch

That solved my issue.

if you are using browserify or some other bundler you should need to add:

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb');
PouchDB.plugin(require('crypto-pouch'));
