SimpleEncryptable is based on Rails encryption mechanisms, it is streamline without all the bells and whistles, only the esentials. Heavilly inspired by Pawel Urbanek.

Add SimpleEncryptable application's Gemfile:

gem 'simple_encryptable'

or

gem 'simple_encryptable', '~> 0.1.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install simple_encryptable

With ActiveRecord objects, the database must have encrypted_[attribute] column(s). With PORO objects, attr_accessor [attribute] must be provided.

You must include SimpleEncryptable, it is not dynamically loaded into all ActiveRecord objects. Providing secret and salt tokens is crutial. Ideally store them in an .env file or using Rails credentials mechanism.

  class User
    include SimpleEncryptable

    attr_encryptable :secret_attribute, :another_secret_attribute, secret: 'foo', salt: 'bar'
  end
