What is pem?

The 'pem' npm package is a tool for creating and managing PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) files, which are commonly used for SSL/TLS certificates and keys. It provides a variety of functionalities for generating, reading, and managing these files.

What are pem's main functionalities?

Generate SSL Certificates

This feature allows you to generate self-signed SSL certificates. The code sample demonstrates how to create a certificate that is valid for one day.

const pem = require('pem');
pem.createCertificate({ days: 1, selfSigned: true }, function (err, keys) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
  console.log(keys);
});

Read Certificate Information

This feature allows you to read and extract information from an existing certificate. The code sample shows how to read certificate information from a specified file path.

const pem = require('pem');
pem.readCertificateInfo('path/to/certificate.pem', function (err, info) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
  console.log(info);
});

Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

This feature allows you to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), which is used to request a certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA). The code sample demonstrates how to create a CSR with a specified common name.

const pem = require('pem');
pem.createCSR({ commonName: 'example.com' }, function (err, csr) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
  console.log(csr);
});
