Advanced tools
Encrypt your secrets and sensitive data at rest.
Create a Node.JS project with the ICE client
$ git init ice-client-demo && cd ice-client-demo
$ npm init -y
$ npm install ice-client dotenv --save
require('dotenv').config();
var ice = require('ice-client');
ice.encrypt("neuromancer", function(err, ciphertext) {
console.log("ciphertext:", ciphertext.toString('base64'));
ice.decrypt(ciphertext, function(err, plaintext) {
console.log("plaintext:", plaintext.toString());
});
})
Get an ICE access key. The fastest way is through the Heroku ICE Addon.
