ingcr3at1on / smokering Goto Github PK

There's currently no way to save a keyring, gob functionality should be one option.

While Smoke Ring itself is meant to be in memory it should still be possible to add a "hook" to write new encrypted keys to a database and restore smokering from that database to allow for permanent storage instead of an ephemeral only option.

Per your RFC in #reviews -- regarding:

A common pattern I like to use, when I have a package level constructor named New returning a factory object that itself creates some other object, is to use the child object's name as the name of the factory method that creates it.

In this case, instead of:

    func (kr *Smokering) New(...

... you'd have:

    func (kr *Smokering) Key(...

I've found that it can make things a lot clearer 6 months down the road (given that the word New is often grossly overloaded).
