pnpm 10 blocks lifecycle scripts by default to improve security, addressing supply chain attack risks but sparking debate over compatibility and workflow changes.
iron-store
Advanced tools
🧿 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.
You can use multiple passwords (password rotation).
npm add iron-store
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 }
Creating a store using multiple passwords (password rotation):
You can implement password rotation by providing an array of passwords and ids. The id can be a string (letters, numbers and _) or just a number.
The first password in the array is always the one used to seal
data. All the other passwords are used to decrypt data.
Note: The id
is mandatory and part of the seal, so that we can know in advance which password to use when decrypting. You need to use unique ids. You cannot reuse a id for a different password.
Note: If you started to use the string
form of password, you can always move to an array
of password objects. The string
form of your password is internally handled as { id: 1, password }
.
import ironStore from "iron-store";
const store = await ironStore({
password: [
{
id: 2,
password: "generated_complex_password_at_least_32_characters_long",
},
{
id: 1,
password: "generated_complex_password_at_least_32_characters_long",
},
],
});
store.set("user", { id: 80, admin: true });
const seal = await store.seal();
