First of all, thanks for your interest in contributing to this project.
I am open to contributions, and I will be happy to accept any pull request that meets the needs of this module. You can also open an issue, and I will be happy to help you out, or even add a new feature.
While maintining sns-payload-validator, I was asked on a few occasions if the module could support Cloudflare's worker platform. Due to Cloudflare not including crypto in their worker platform, I was unable to support it.
So I decided to create a new module that used the WebCrypto API, which is supported by Cloudflare workers. mostly use it for the Intellisense).
I have adapted the coding style guide of hapijs, as I do work with the fine folks in that project.
As a DevSecOps engineer, I love modules without a lot of dependencies. If there is a feature that you would like to add that requires a dependency, please open an issue. We will come to one of three decisions:
- We add the dependency.
- We include the funtionality needed in the module.
- We create a separate module maintained here that includes the functionality needed.
This module only has a dependency on lru-cache to cache the certificate keys from AWS. This is a perfect example of using an external dependency, as lru-cache is a long proven and well maintained module. There is no reason for us to recreate the wheel of caching.
By contrast, I have adapted code from node-forge to extract the public key from the x509 certificate. I did this because node-forge has a lot of functionality, making it large, and I only needed a small portion of the module to complete this task. So I adapted the code to fit my needs keeping the module small.
I hope that this module is useful to you, and I hope that you will contribute to the project. -- Devin Stewart
