generateKey API not flexible enough about scala-js-dom HOT 3 CLOSED

One thing that one could do is make algorithms typesafe, as for example I have been trying with the Fetch API.

Here things may be a bit different. I was thinking in this case algorithms for example could not be sealed traits, but it seems according to this stackoverflow article that it is not actually possible to discover supported algorithms in the browser. Still I suppose developers could integrate libraries that support them and ship those with the code....

When I initially PR'd the web crypto api, @sjrd suggested that we could use path dependent types to actually provide accurate types for all the promises, so I think it might be worth mapping out the various routes through the api. I believe we can produce accurate typing for the known algorithms, with a fallback to Promise[Any] when the user uses something we've not seen before. (And actually it's kind of a neat demo of what's possible with the Scala type system). I didn't do it at the time and have regretted it ever since :)

That sounds like a good idea. The above changes get me far enough to continue programming my implementation of http-signatures
