Example payload of signer(bgContext, payload ...) ecc.Signature.signHash(payload.data...

[MarcelBlockchain]

What is an example payload of the following snippet? I tried to test it in dev mode, but encountered a problem as described here #157

Would answer my question at https://github.com/EOSIO/eosjs/issues/306 as well.

https://github.com/GetScatter/ScatterWebExtension/blob/master/src/plugins/defaults/eos.js#L118

signer(bgContext, payload, publicKey, callback, arbitrary = false, isHash = false){
        bgContext.publicToPrivate(privateKey => {
            if(!privateKey){
                callback(null);
                return false;
            }

            let sig;
            if(arbitrary && isHash) sig = ecc.Signature.signHash(payload.data, privateKey).toString();
            else sig = ecc.sign(Buffer.from(arbitrary ? payload.data : payload.buf.data, 'utf8'), privateKey);

            callback(sig);
        }, publicKey)
}

bgContext and callback are interesting as well

I'd check out this instead as it's far more succinct and this code has fallen out of sync with Scatter's methodologies.

https://github.com/GetScatter/ScatterDesktop/blob/master/src/plugins/defaults/eos.js#L228

The payload itself can be just

{ 
  buf:{
    data:[] // An array of bytes that encapsulates the entire transaction
  }
}

Of for arbitrary data

{ 
  data:[] // An array of bytes or a hash string
}
