Save a Private Key as a Traditional PEM File

See more Private Key Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat PrivateKey.SavePemFile method, which saves the key as unencrypted PEM, preferring a traditional algorithm-specific representation (for example RSA PRIVATE KEY). The only argument is the destination path.

Note: The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

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

function chilkatExample() {
  // Load a private key to export.
  const privKey = new PrivateKey();
  try {
    privKey.loadPemFile('qa_data/private.pem');
  } catch {
    console.log(privKey.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Save as unencrypted PEM, preferring the traditional algorithm-specific representation (for
  // example "RSA PRIVATE KEY" for RSA).
  try {
    privKey.savePemFile('qa_output/private.pem');
  } catch {
    console.log(privKey.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log('Saved.');
