nativescript-angular-webview-crypto

This brings window.Crypto to your Angular2 NativeScript application. It does this by communicating with a hidden WebView, which performs the actual computation.

It extends nativescript-webview-crypto, which in turn extends webview-crypto.

Install

This requires being setup properly with NativeScript first. Then install this as a plugin:

tns plugin add nativescript-angular-webview-crypto

Usage

Rendering the polyfill-crypto component will start up a WebView to transparently proxy all the crypto calls to. crypto is a global variable, to match the Web Cryptography API. To register the polyfill-crypto component, just import this package.

import 'nativescript-angular-webview-crypto';

@Component({
    selector: 'simple-view-container',
    template: `
        <polyfill-crypto></polyfill-crypto>
    `
})
export class SimpleViewContainer implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    console.log(crypto.getRandomValues());
  }
}

The component will be hidden, but needs to be rendered for crypto to work.

You can look at an example repo running this example for symmetric encryption in NativeScript.
