WP Simple Encryption
====================

[](#wp-simple-encryption)

A simple package to encrypt and decrypt strings in WordPress.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require jeffreyvanrossum/wp-simple-encryption
```

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

This package attempts to write a constant to your site's `wp-config.php` where the secret key is stored.

You may define the name of this constant when instantiating the `WPSimpleEncryption` class.

This package utilizes [php-encryption](https://github.com/defuse/php-encryption/) for the encryption and decryption.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Jeffreyvr\WPSimpleEncryption\WPSimpleEncryption;

$wp_simple_encryption = new WPSimpleEncryption('YOUR_SECRET_KEY_CONSTANT');

$wp_simple_encryption->encrypt('some unencrypted string');

$wp_simple_encryption->decrypt('some encrypted string');
```
