Installation

You can install mongodb-client-encryption with the following:

npm install mongodb-client-encryption

Development

Setup

Run the following command to build libmongocrypt and setup the node bindings for development:

bash ./etc/build-static.sh

Linting

We lint both the c++ bindings and the Typescript.

To lint the Typescript, you can run npm run check:eslint -- --fix. To lint the c++, run npm run clang-format.

Testing

The unit tests require the binding to be built. Run npm run rebuild to build the addon from the c++ source. Then the tests can be run with npm test.

Note: changes to c++ source are not automatically re-compiled. One needs to rebuild the bindings after each change.
