Encrypted Credentials

The Credentials package is a TypeScript module inspired by Ruby on Rails credentials. It provides a secure way to manage and edit sensitive data stored in encrypted files.

Features

• File Encryption: Encrypt and decrypt files using the AES-256-CBC encryption algorithm.
• Key Management: Automatically generate and manage encryption keys securely.
• YAML Support: Works with YAML format for storing structured data.
• Environment-Specific Configuration: Supports environment-specific configuration files (e.g., development, production) for credentials.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install credentials-store --save

Editing Encrypted Files

Edit encrypted credentials for a specific environment using your system's default text editor.

npx credentials-store

or

npx credentials-store production

Reading Encrypted Files

import { credentials } from 'credentials-store';

const config = credentials(); // Read and parse the default credentials file

You can also specify an environment:

const config = credentials('production'); // Read and parse the production environment credentials
