Database permission upon creation about datastore

[tahpot]

Open a database with a brand new name with the permission { read: "public", write: "owner"}

What's the actual code you're running to create the database?

Oh yes! sorry I forgot to add the code repo 😅. Here it is.

And this is the specific file. Below is the excerpt.

// let dbName="somename"; let app = new Verida({*}); await app.connect etc...

const permissions = {
    read: 'public',
    write: 'owner'
}; 
async function createDatabase(){
  db = await app.openDatabase(dbName, app.user.did, {
    permissions: permissions
  });
 console.log(db.permissions);// {read:'owner',write:'owner'} 
}

Thanks!

Sorry, the documentation was outdated, but has now been updated.

Don't pass the app.user.did parameter, ie:

db = await app.openDatabase(dbName, {
    permissions: permissions
  });

The did for the second parameter is only required when calling app.openExternalDatabase(dbName, did, config).

Excellent! It works. Thank you! 🙏
