SecureFile

A minimalist file encryptor and decryptor.

Getting Started

// require the package
const { SecureFile } = require('securefile')
// or import it
import { SecureFile } from 'securefile'

// initialize
const secure = new SecureFile('<your secret key here>')

secure.encrypt('<filePath>', encryptionOptions) // returns {fileName: string, filePath: string}

secure.decrypt('<filePath>', overwrite?: boolean) // returns {fileName: string, filePath: string}

Encryption Options

Options	Type	Default Value	Description
overwrite?	boolean	true	Instead of creating a separate file, it overwrites the existing file.
rename?	boolean	true	Renames the original file to a cryptic name. Ignored when overwrite is set to false

Bulk Encryption and Decryption

secure.encryptMany([{filePath: string, overwrite?: boolean, rename?: boolean},...])
// or
secure.encryptFolder('<folder_path'>) // encrypts each file inside a folder

secure.decryptMany([{filePath: string, overwrite: boolean}],...)
// or
secure.decryptFolder('<folder_path>') // decrypts each file inside a folder

Use from Terminal

encrypt <key> fileName
decrypt <key> fileName
