Module to handle encrypted sqlite databases
To install this module open your prompt or terminal and run:
npm install sqlite-cipher
#Usage You can open encrypted database file or create a new also encrypted. And you can encrypt or decrypt an existent file.
Opening a encrypted database file or creating a new.
var sqlite = require('sqlite-cipher'); //requiring
//Connecting - (databaseFile, [password], [algorithm])
sqlite.connect('test/Database.enc','myPass','aes-256-ctr');
//Creating Table - you can run any command
sqlite.run("CREATE TABLE COMPANYS(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, NAME TEXT NOT NULL);");
//Inserting - this function can be sync to, look the wiki
sqlite.insert("COMPANYS",{NAME:"COMPANY"}, function(inserid){
console.log(inserid);
});
//Updating - returns the number of rows modified - can be async too
var rows_modified = sqlite.update("COMPANYS",{NAME:"TESTING UPDATE"},{ID:1});
//Create your function
function concat(a,b){
return a+b;
}
//Add your function to connection
sqlite.create_function(concat);
// Use your function in the SQL
console.log(sqlite.run("SELECT ID , concat(ID, NAME) as concat FROM COMPANYS;"));
// Closing connection
sqlite.close();
Encrypting an database. In the output file you can use any extension.
var sqlite = require('sqlite-cipher');
//(from, to, password, [algorithm])
sqlite.encrypt("test/decrypted.db","test/reencrypted.rec", "myPass","aes-256-ctr");
Decrypting an database.
var sqlite = require('sqlite-cipher');
//(from, to, password, [algorithm])
sqlite.decrypt("test/Database.enc","test/decrypted.db", "myPass", "aes-256-ctr");
