Crypto

If your script needs to use cryptography functions, the current recommendation is to use Webpack to polyfill Node's crypto module. Crypto functions are necessary for a variety of use cases, including url signing and encrypting/decrypting data. An example script and webpack config:

import crypto from "crypto";

const ENCRYPT_KEY = "my_32_chars_encryption_key_12345";

addEventListener("fetch", event => {
  event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request));
});

async function handleRequest(request) {
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ secret: encryptString("secret") }));
}

function encryptString(str) {
  let iv = crypto.randomBytes(16);
  let cipher = crypto.createCipheriv("aes-256-cbc", ENCRYPT_KEY, iv);
  let encrypted = cipher.update(str, "utf8", "hex");
  encrypted += cipher.final("hex");
  return `${iv.toString("hex")}:${encrypted}`;
}

module.exports = {
  entry: "./index.js",
  mode: "production",
  target: "webworker",
  optimization: {
    minimize: true
  }
};
