To install CryptoJS using npm, follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt
  2. Run the following command:
1
npm install crypto-js


  1. Wait for the package to install.


Once the installation is complete, you can import CryptoJS in your code and use its functions and modules as needed.

Correct!


Just to further clarify, after you have installed CryptoJS using npm, you can import it in your code like this:

1
const CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");


Or if you are using ES6 modules:

1
import CryptoJS from "crypto-js";


Once imported, you can use CryptoJS functions and modules in your code. For example, you can use the AES module for encryption and decryption:

1
2
3
4
5
const encryptedMessage = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Hello, World!", "secret key").toString();
console.log(encryptedMessage);

const decryptedMessage = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(encryptedMessage, "secret key").toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
console.log(decryptedMessage);


Make sure to replace "secret key" with your desired actual encryption key.


That's it! You have successfully installed and integrated CryptoJS using npm.
