A module for providing private, client-side, self-contained, storage of arbitrary data.
This is a trival implementation, and something that will probally never be used (I was bored so I wrote it, hopefully this will help someone...maybe).... basically a glorified closure :)
- A 'Safe' is a container for multiple private objects that can ony be acessed by a callee if it provides the correct secret key.
- Multiple Safes can be instanced if required, each with their own private storage.
- Secrets can be passed between objects so that they can access the same private storage
Some weird and wonderful things can be implemented with this... such as: Multiple objects sharing the same private storage so that they can pass values between each other/update a shared reference, without others being able to access/modify it. :)
Here are some examples of how to use this tiny module.
const Safe = require('safe')
// Instance a global Safe object
const safe1 = new Safe()
// Generate a random string to be used as a secret -> mh95l3omr2l9dx6r
const secret = Safe.secret()
// Generate private storage with our secret
let priv1 = Safe.generate(secret)
// Set some arbitrary value in our safe
priv.name = 'John'
// Retrieve our safe again
let priv2 = Safe.access(secret)
// -> John
console.log(priv2)const Safe = require('safe')
// Generate a random string to be used as a secret -> mh95l3omr2l9dx6r
const secret = Safe.secret()
// Instance 2 seperate Safe instances
const safe1 = new Safe()
const safe2 = new Safe()
// Set some arbitrary value in safe1
let priv1 = safe1.generate(secret)
priv1.name = 'John';
// Now try and access our value out of safe2
let priv2 = safe2.access(secret)
// -> undefined
console.log(priv2)MIT
