Configuration

In order to use the module, the following configuration must be in place:

{
  key: "my-key",
  secret: "my-secret",
  method: "aes-256-cbc"
}

To set the data, you may use the following command:

app.set("encryptionConfig", {
  key: "my-key",
  secret: "my-secret",
  method: "aes-256-cbc"
});

Usage

The purpose of the package is to be used with resolvers in setting & retrieving data from databases, to ensure sensitive data is not stored in plain text.

To encrypt data for rest, you may use a resolver like this:

export const myServiceResolver = resolve<MyService, HookContext>({
  secretId: async (value, tenant, context) => {
    const encryption = context.app.get("encryption");
    return encryption.decryptData(value);
  }
});

To decrypt data when querying a database:

export const azureTenantDataResolver = resolve<MyService, HookContext>({
  secretId: async (value, tenant, context) => {
    const encryption = context.app.get("encryption");
    return encryption.encryptData(value);
  }
});
