It seems there is an issue using the encrypt option of redux-persist in react-native:
https://github.com/maxdeviant/redux-persist-transform-encrypt/issues/15
Can anyone help with any solution/workaround to use redux persist to encrypt and store a login token in react-native?
When I try to use the redux persist with the redux-persist-transform-encrypt i get
Redux-persist-transform-encrypt: expected outbound state to be a string error
import { createStore, compose, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import ReduxThunk from 'redux-thunk';
import { persistStore, autoRehydrate } from 'redux-persist';
import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native';
import createEncryptor from 'redux-persist-transform-encrypt';
import reducers from './reducers';
const store = createStore(
reducers,
{},
compose(
applyMiddleware(ReduxThunk),
autoRehydrate(),
),
);
const encryptor = createEncryptor({
secretKey: 'my-super-secret-key-999',
});
persistStore(
store,
{
storage: AsyncStorage,
whitelist: ['auth'],
transforms: [encryptor],
},
);
export default store;
My auth state is something like this:
const INITIAL_STATE = {
user: null,
token: ''
};
Is there any solution to use redux-persist-transform encrypt or the transform and other package to encrypt the token when using redux persist?
I found a solution using the customTransform instead of redux-persist-transform-encrypt:
import { createStore, compose, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import ReduxThunk from 'redux-thunk';
import { persistStore, createTransform, autoRehydrate } from 'redux-persist';
import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native';
import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
import reducers from './reducers';
const store = createStore(
reducers,
{},
compose(
applyMiddleware(ReduxThunk),
autoRehydrate(),
),
);
const encrypt = createTransform(
(inboundState, key) => {
if (!inboundState) return inboundState;
const cryptedText = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(JSON.stringify(inboundState), 'secret key 123');
return cryptedText.toString();
},
(outboundState, key) => {
if (!outboundState) return outboundState;
const bytes = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(outboundState, 'secret key 123');
const decrypted = bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
return JSON.parse(decrypted);
},
);
persistStore(
store,
{
storage: AsyncStorage,
whitelist: ['auth'], // <-- keys from state that should be persisted
transforms: [encrypt],
},
);
export default store;
When using redux-persist initial state is triggered before rehydrating is finished so I had to apply this too:
