Mongoose Cipher

Main Idea

The idea with Mongoose cipher is to encrypt the fields that you select before save them on the database.

Installation

$ npm install mongoose-cipher

Usage

Basic

At the moment it only works with:

• save: it will encrypt the selected fields automatically.
• findOneAndUpdate: it will encrypt the selected fields automatically.
• find: it will decrypt the selected fields automatically.
• findOne: it will decrypt the selected fields automatically.

The data is encrypted using AES thanks to crypto-js.

Required options:

• fields: An array list of the fields of the Schema to get encrypted.
• secret: The secret used to encrypt the data.

Example:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const { encryptFields } = require('mongoose-cipher');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const User = new Schema({
  name: String,
  email: String,
  username: String
})

User.plugin(encryptFields, { fields: ['name', 'email', 'username'], secret: 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'})

Database data:

{
  _id: "5a5d480cc132a42b921fb010",
  name: "U2FsdGVkX19jWdf7xfM2xtZ7a5KdmM+q8WdLwP4c2hQ=",
  email: "U2FsdGVkX19GSMtPsgzybjkLl5OWG54gtdyyHYPKs2xBsNmCSnGX0hyuBjGpYGji",
  username: "U2FsdGVkX1/SU1MV/s/+w7tD5yiaKWrAhHN42N+J078=",
