Encryption in nodejs

Question

I'm trying to port the following php code to javascript on node.js:

$mac = hash_hmac('SHA256', 'string', 'secret', true); $coded = base64_encode($mac);

I've tried the following:

var Crypto = require('crypto'); var code = Crypto.util.bytesToBase64(Crypto.HMAC(Crypto.SHA256, 'string', 'secret', { asBytes: true }));

I get the error:

TypeError: Object #Object has no method 'HMAC'

I'm new to node.js, what am I doing wrong?

Update:

var code = Crypto.createHmac('SHA256', secret_key).update(to_encode).digest('base64');

You want to use the createHmac function instead.

Crypto.createHmac("SHA256", 'secret').update('string').digest('base64')

Thanks. I get "Must give hashtype string as argument".

@Alex Sorry, the docs aren't that great, so I couldn't figure out what exactly it wanted. Hopefully this gets you in the right direction.

Crypto.SHA256 should be 'SHA256'. Thanks!

I took it from here: stackoverflow.com/questions/7909288/…

@Alex It is probably for an older version of node
