key | CryptoKey | The key to export. |
Return Value
A Promise
that resolves to a new ArrayBuffer
containing the key.

TypeError | Raised when trying to use an invalid format. |
Example
JavaScript
import { crypto } from 'k6/experimental/webcrypto';
export default async function () {
/**
* Generate a symmetric key using the AES-CBC algorithm.
*/
const generatedKey = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(
{
name: 'AES-CBC',
length: '256',
},
true,
['encrypt', 'decrypt']
);
/**
* Export the key in raw format.
*/
const exportedKey = await crypto.subtle.exportKey('raw', generatedKey);
/**
* Reimport the key in raw format to verify its integrity.
*/
const importedKey = await crypto.subtle.importKey('raw', exportedKey, 'AES-CBC', true, [
'encrypt',
'decrypt',
]);
console.log(JSON.stringify(importedKey));
