Write PKCS1 or PKCS8 Public Key PEM

See more PEM Examples

Demonstrates how to write either PKCS1 or PKCS8 format PEM files. PKCS1 public keys have this PEM format:

-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
BASE64 ENCODED DATA
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

PKCS8 public keys have this PEM format:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
BASE64 ENCODED DATA
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

import { Pem } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const pem = new Pem();

  // Load a public key from a PEM file.
  // (Assume the PEM contains at least one public key..)
  try {
    pem.loadPemFile('/Users/chilkat/testData/pem/myPublicKey.pem', '');
  } catch {
    console.log(pem.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  const numPublicKeys = pem.numPublicKeys;
  if (numPublicKeys === 0) {
    console.log(('Error: Expected the PEM to contain public keys.'));
    return;
  }

  // Get each public key as PEM, first in PKCS1 format, then in PKCS8.
  for (let i = 1; i <= numPublicKeys; i++) {

    // First output to PKCS1 PEM format:
    console.log('This is PKCS1 format:');
    pem.publicKeyFormat = 'pkcs1';
    console.log(pem.toPem());

    // Now PKCS8 PEM format:
    console.log('This is PKCS8 format:');
    pem.publicKeyFormat = 'pkcs8';
    console.log(pem.toPem());
  }
