iron-store

🧿 in-memory, signed and encrypted JavaScript store

---

This is a low-level module that you can use to implement signed and encrypted sessions using cookies for example, like next-iron-session does.

Signature and encryption is based on @hapi/iron.

Use https://1password.com/password-generator/ to generate strong passwords.

npm add iron-store

Examples

Creating a store with sealed data (encrypt):

import ironStore from "iron-store";

const store = await ironStore({
  password: "generated_complex_password_at_least_32_characters_long"
});
store.set("user", { id: 80, admin: true });
const seal = await store.seal();
//

Creating a store from previously sealed data (decrypt):

import ironStore from "iron-store";

const store = await ironStore({
  password: "generated_complex_password_at_least_32_characters_long",
  sealed: "seal_obtained_from_previous_store.seal()_call"
});
const user = store.get("user");
console.log(user);
// { id:80, admin:true }

API

ironStore({ sealed, password, ttl = 0 })

store.set(name, value)
