Dotenv-encode NPM

DOTENV-ENCODE

Installation

$ npm install dotenv-encode

Description

Dotenv-encode is a package for encrypting or decrypting a file or folder using a password.

Secured: It uses the aes256 algorythm from the crypto package for encrypting a file or folder with a key.
Fast and flexible: The command line only take few arguments and can be adapted easily.

Example

Encryption

$ npm dotenv-encode ./env/test.env -o ./encrypted/test.env -s MySecretKey
## Without secret/s, a prompt will ask for the secret
$ npm dotenv-encode ./env/test.env -o ./encrypted/test.env

This command will encrypt the content of the file ./env/test.env in the file ./encrypted/test.env with MySecretKey as password.

You can also encrypt all the file in a folder :

$ npm dotenv-encode ./env -o ./env_encrypted -s MySecretKey

Decryption

$ npm dotenv-encode ./env/test.env -o ./encrypted/test.env -s MySecretKey -d

This command will decrypt the content of the file ./env/test.env in the file ./encrypted/test.env with MySecretKey as password.

Usage

$ dotenv-encode <path-input-file> --options <VALUE>

Options	Short	Mandatory	Description
--out	-o	yes	The path of the result file or folder (it will be created if does not exist)
--secret	-s	no	Specify the password which would be used to encrypt or decrypt the file.
--decrypt	-d	no	If present, the command will decrypt the input file

In case the secret is specified, a prompt will ask for the secret. The decrypt option does not take any parameters. The path-input-file is the file on which we will get the data from.
