crypto.pbkdf2 is not a function

[kdkul]

i am able to encrypt my database successfully, but i am stuck in decryption. I am trying to get key through password but each and every time i am getting error "crypto.pbkdf2 is not a function." Any suggestion/idea for me what could be the possible reason.

[calvinmetcalf]

are you both encrypting and decrypting from the same enviroment ?

[kdkul]

yeah, i am trying to do both things in a same environment. Plz let me know if you need any other info to get some idea for this issue.

[calvinmetcalf]

wait a second, encrypting and decrypting are the same thing in this library, you just set it up and you're reads are decrypted and you writes are encrypted, what exactly are you doing ?

Let me explain. I have encrypted my db now i am trying to derive key through password and salt by below method.

db.get('_local/crypto').then(function (doc) { return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) { crypto.pbkdf2(password, doc.salt, doc.iterations, 256/8, doc.digest, function (err, key) { if (err) { return reject(err); } resolve(key); }); }); }).then(function (key) { // you have the key });

I am providing the same password which i have given at the time db encryption here but each and every time i am gettting console error "pbkdf2 is not a function". I debugged and found inside promise, crypto object is there but there is no pbkdf2 function is attached with crypto object.

that example refers to the browserify/nodejs crypto module, not the browser one, so you need to require that library similar to how you got pouchdb and crypto pouch

i have installed pouchdb and crypto-pouch through npm. I am working on a ionic app. also getting same error if i run application in device itself.

at the top of the file put

var crypto = require('crypto');
