Utility library providing encrypt/compress and decompress/decrypt using AES encryption π.
With a simple API, you can easily zip and encrypt a directory and later unzip and decrypt it.
- Generate encryption keys π
- Encrypt and zip folders πβ‘οΈππ¦
- Unzip and decrypt an encrypted zip folder π¦β‘οΈππ
Monozip can be used directly from the command line. The general structure of a command is:
monozip [command] [options]
To use the cli, install globally with npm:
npm install -g monozip
To encrypt and zip a folder:
You can specify an encryption key and an output path using the -k
and --output
options respectively. If not specified, a key will be generated automatically, and the output file will be saved in the current directory.
monozip encrypt ./path/to/folder
After running this command, it will print out the encryption key used (keep it safe, you will need it to decrypt π), and the path to the zipped file.
To unzip and decrypt an encrypted zip file:
You need to provide the encryption key and the path to the zipped file. You can also specify an output path using the -o
option. If not specified, the file will be unzipped in the current directory.
monozip decrypt your-key ./path/to/file.zip
After running this command, it will print out the path to the unzipped and decrypted files.
Install the library using npm:
npm install monozip
To encrypt and zip a folder, you can use the generateKey
and encryptAndZipFolder
functions. Here is an example:
import { generateKey, encryptAndZipFolder } from "monozip";
const folderPath = "downloads/myphotos";
// Generate a new encryption key
const secretKey = generateKey();
// Encrypt and zip the folder
await encryptAndZipFolder(secretKey, fixtureFolderPath);
console.info(`Encrypted with key ${secretKey} and zipped folder ${folderPath}`);
// Encrypted with key e96c9074fa... and zipped folder downloads/myphotos.zip. Keep the key safe!
To unzip and decrypt a previously encrypted and zipped file, you can use the unzipAndDecryptZip
function. Here is an example:
import { generateKey, unzipAndDecryptZip } from "monozip";
// Assume the encryption key is known
const secretKey = "my-secret-key";
// Unzip and decrypt the zipped file
const zipPath = "downloads/myphotos.zip";
const outputPath = await unzipAndDecryptZip(secretKey, zipPath, {
outputPath: "downloads/myphotos-decrypted",
});
console.info(`Unzipped and decrypted ${outputPath}`);
// Unzipped and decrypted downloads/myphotos-decrypted
The project uses Vitest for testing.
You can run the tests with:
npm test
