(Node.js) Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.SetMacKeyBytes method

Shows how to replace the deprecated SetMacKeyBytes method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {

    var crypt = new chilkat.Crypt2();

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The SetMacKeyBytes method is deprecated:

    var keyBytes = new chilkat.CkByteData();
    // ...
    // ...

    var success = crypt.SetMacKeyBytes(keyBytes);

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Workaround.
    // (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

    var bdKey = new chilkat.BinData();
    // ...
    // ...

    var encoding = "base64";
    var base64_mackey = bdKey.GetEncoded(encoding);

    success = crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded(base64_mackey,encoding);
