Node-Python Encryptor

A Node.js module that wraps a Python AES (CBC mode) encryption/decryption tool. Automatically installs dependencies and builds a Python binary on npm install.

🔐 Features

• AES-256-CBC encryption with static key and IV
• Handles JSON or plain string inputs
• Automatically installs pycryptodome and pyinstaller
• Compiles the Python script into a standalone binary
• Simple Node.js wrapper for encryption and decryption

🚀 Installation

npm install pycryptotool

Optional Source File Cleanup

~~After successful compilation, you'll be prompted:~~

~~Python binary created.~~
~~Do you want to delete the source file (py/encryptor.py)? (y/n):~~

~~- Type y to remove the original Python script.~~ ~~- Type n to keep it.~~

~~This setup ensures a clean environment while allowing you to control whether the original Python source is retained.~~

⚠️ Note: This feature is currently disabled and will be resolved soon. As a temporary solution, the Python source file (py/encryptor.py) is always deleted automatically after building the binary.

🧪 Usage

const { encrypt, decrypt } = require("pycryptotool");

encrypt('{"foo":"bar"}', (err, encrypted) => {
  if (err) return console.error("Encrypt error:", err);
  console.log("Encrypted:", encrypted);

  decrypt(encrypted, (err, decrypted) => {
    if (err) return console.error("Decrypt error:", err);
    console.log("Decrypted:", decrypted);
  });
});
