What is google-p12-pem?

The google-p12-pem npm package is used to convert Google .p12 or PFX files to the PEM format. This is particularly useful when dealing with authentication in Google Cloud Platform services, as it allows developers to transform the private key obtained from Google into a format that can be used with various authentication libraries.

What are google-p12-pem's main functionalities?

Convert P12 to PEM

This feature allows you to convert a .p12 or PFX file to PEM format. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `getPem` function provided by the package to perform the conversion. The function takes the path to the .p12 file and a callback function that receives an error or the resulting PEM.

const { getPem } = require('google-p12-pem');
getPem('/path/to/key.p12', (err, pem) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error converting P12 to PEM', err);
    return;
  }
  console.log(pem);
});

Convert P12 to PEM with Promise

This feature is similar to the previous one but uses Promises instead of callbacks. It allows for better integration with modern asynchronous JavaScript code, such as async/await syntax.

const { getPem } = require('google-p12-pem');
getPem('/path/to/key.p12').then(pem => {
  console.log(pem);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Error converting P12 to PEM', err);
});

Usage

Asynchronous

var gp12 = require('google-p12-pem');
gp12('/path/to/key.p12', function(err, pem) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log(pem); // '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIICXQIBAAK...'
  }
});

Synchronous

Note: If an error occurs and the callback is omitted, it will throw the error.

var gp12 = require('google-p12-pem');
var pem = gp12('/path/to/key.p12');
console.log(pem); // '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIICXQIBAAK...'

CLI
