decrypt

Type: decrypt(content: string): APIResult<string>

The decrypt() method decrypts data encrypted by encrypt() and returns the original plaintext string.

const decrypted = sauthbase.use().decrypt("afbc12...:5cbb...:beef...");

Parameters

Return Value

• APIResult<string>: If decryption is successful, the result will contain the original string in the data field. If it fails, it will return success: false with accompanying message, status, and code.

Example Usage

const encrypted = sauthbase.use().encrypt("example text");
if (encrypted.success) {
  const result = sauthbase.use().decrypt(encrypted.data);
  console.log(result.data); // "example text"
}

Notes

• The input must follow the format produced by encrypt().
• The format must be a string containing IV, ciphertext, and auth tag separated by colons (:).
• Decryption will fail if the format is invalid or if the authentication tag is incorrect.
