JavaScript implementation of the "Edgio Token" (ectoken) - see main repo ectoken for more details.

$ npm install @edgio/ectoken

const { ECToken, encrypt, decrypt } = require('@edgio/ectoken')

const ec_token = new ECToken()
ec_token.addValue('ec_country_allow', 'US')
// Add additional directives in the same way.

const token = await encrypt('my-secret-key', ec_token)
const plaintext = await decrypt('my-secret-key', token)

If installing this library as a replacement for ectoken-nodejs, import the V3 namespace instead:

const { V3 } = require('@edgio/ectoken')

const token = await V3.encrypt('my-secret-key', 'some_param=valueA&some_other_param=valueB')
const plaintext = await V3.decrypt('my-secret-key', token)

Please Note: because this version of the token generator uses crypto.subtle, the encrypt and decrypt functions are now asynchronous.

The ECToken helper class is optional for both the namespaced and non-namespaced import variations. The encrypt function will accept either an ECToken object or a plain string.
