learn-node-crypto

start to learn writing for node, console, crypto, finally it should be a passwordmanager

using this tool is easy.

starting with node cli.js
telling the Masterpasssword
just follow the instructions in screen 😉
thats it

Using chalk

for colorizing output in console
chalk on Github

Using Inquirer

for communication with users over console. Make it easier to write prompts and handle the response, build as async/await functions
inquierer on Github

Using CryptoJS

for hashing masterpassword and de/encrypt data
CryptoJS on Github

Using .env

for hiding url key and encrypted master key
dotenv auf npm

example

const db = require('db');
db.connect({
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    username: process.env.DB_USER,
    password: process.env.DB_PASS,
});

values in .env file

DB_URL=  ***
DB_NAME=  ***
DB_COLLECTION= ***
MASTER_PWD=  ***

Using MongoDB Atlas (Cloud)

for storing data in documents/collections. Learning to handle CRUD operations MongoDB Free Atlas Account

Dataformat

{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "5fad42cc889183e5bf79b625"
    },
    "name": "home",
    "category": "wifi",
    "value": "U2FsdGVkX1+7hbj5RIah9LXes8cr48Cm8YrqIrPgMfE="
}

db.json ursprünglich

{
    "master": "",
    "public": {
        "wifi": {
            "home": "********",
            "work": "********",
            "Tante": "********"
        },
        "homebanking": {
            "bank": "********",
            "creditcard": "********"
        }
    }
}

Add express.js

to build a simple api and host a local server

to update existing document

use the _id/ new password to select document to change

    app.put('/password/?id=passwordID&password=newPassword',

code using query operators

app.post('/password/', async function (req, res) {
    const newDocument = {};
    newDocument.category = req.query.category;
    newDocument.name = req.query.name;
    const rawValue = req.query.password;
    newDocument.value = encrypt(rawValue, process.env.MASTER_PWD);
    await insertNewDocument(process.env.DB_COLLECTION, newDocument);
    res.send('Got a POST request');
});

changed to operation with request.body (JSON type based) & the body parser of express.js

    app.use(express.json())
    ...
    const password = request.body;

to delete document

use the _id to select document to delete

    {"_id":{"$oid":"5fb26eea2843faefa4d06b7a"}, ...
    app.delete('/password/:passwordID',

to insert new document

use post method on the following path

app.post('/password/?cat=category&name=name&value=password',

Nodemon & Concurrently

nodemon install

npm i --save-dev nodemon

using to automatically restart server.js and the react app

"devDependencies": {
    "concurrently": "^5.3.0",
    "nodemon": "^2.0.6"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "server": "nodemon server.js",

to only restart the server if the related code is changed

nodemon.json

{ "ignore": ["client/*"] }

storybook

install storybook inside the client folder

npx sb init

deployment

preperations for deployment

changes in server.js

const port = process.env.port || 3001;

...

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build')));

app.use('/storybook', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'client/storybook-static')));

app.get('*', (request, response) => {
    response.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build', 'index.html'));
});

ignoring the build folder in .gitignore

# own stuff
.masterpwd
db.json
client/build
client/storybook-static

write scripts for heroku deployment

"scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "server": "nodemon server.js",
    "client": "cd client && npm start",
    "dev": "concurrently \"npm run server\" \"npm run client\" ",
    "story": "cd client && npm run storybook",
    "build": "cd client && npm run build && npm run build-storybook",
    "start": "node server.js",
    "postinstall": "cd client && npm install"
  },

!!!! IMPORTANT SIDE NODE

all dependency have to be in the right place, all necessary for production have to be in the regular dependencies
