Node.js encrypts large file using AES

Question

I try to use following code to encrypt a file of 1 GB. But Node.js abort with \"FATAL ERROR: JS Allocation failed - process out of memory\". How can I deal with it?

Answer 1

I would simply use the Fileger to do it. It's a promise-based package and a clean alternative to the NodeJS filesystem.

const fileger = require("fileger")
const file = new fileger.File("./your-file-path.txt");

file.encrypt("your-password") // this will encrypt the file
   .then(() => {
      file.decrypt("your-password") // this will decrypt the file
   })
