===================================

[](#php-encryptdecrypt-content-tooling)

Simple tooling to encrypt and decrypt content

```

-----------

[](#plain-usage)

```
use GWSN/Encrypt/Encryptor;

```

Use in Symfony
--------------

[](#use-in-symfony)

Add the following part to the `config/services.yaml`

```
    private Encryptor $encryptor;

    public function __construct(Encryptor $encryptor)
    {
        $this->encryptor = $encryptor;
    }

    public function makeItSecret(string $content): string
    {
        return $this->encryptor->encrypt($content);
    }
