Installation

npm i encr -S

yarn add encr

CLI

## Encrypt
encr -i <input> -o <output> [--force] [--key <secret>] [--alg <algorithm>]

## Decrypt
encr -d -i <input> -o <output> [--force] [--key <secret>] [--alg <algorithm>]

## Random generator of length (default = 32)
encr -g <length>

Arguments

Arg	Description
-i	Input file - this can be encrypted or plain data file
-o	Output file. If this option is stdout it is output as string. Do not use this option to store to file as this will corrupt the encoding of buffer
-d	Use this option to decrypt the input
-g	Generate nonce
--key	The secret key to use for encryption. Alternatively you can provide environment variable ENCR_SECRET. If none of these options are provided then you will be securely asked for the key

Optional arguments

Arg	Description
--force	If output file already exists, use this option to overwrite.
--alg	Encryption algorithm to use. List depends upon OpenSSL (as per Node.js docs) Run openssl list -cipher-algorithms to choose the possible option. You must choose 256 bit option for correct key length. It defaults to AES-256 CBC
-h	Display this list of options for convenience
-v	Display version information

API

const Encr = require('encr');

const encr = new Encr('MySecret');
const plain = Buffer.from('Hello world');

encr.encrypt(plain).then(encrypted => {
  console.log('Encrypted:', encrypted.toString('base64'));
  return encr.decrypt(encrypted);
}).then(decrypted => {
  console.log('Decrypted:', decrypted.toString());
})
