We’re using a third-party template for processing customer feedback but need to add AES encryption to the data collection step. The template uses unfamiliar JavaScript modules. What’s the safest way to modify existing templates without compromising their core functionality?
Latenode’s PRO template editor lets you inject custom JS right where needed. Found a spot in the data collection node? Just wrap the payload in their built-in crypto module. I added client-side encryption to a survey template in 15 mins. Docs show how: https://latenode.com
Key management is handled through their secrets store.
First, fork the template to preserve the original. Test modifications in stages - add logging before implementing crypto. Use standardized libraries instead of custom code. If the template uses unusual patterns, consider wrapping their functions rather than modifying directly. Always validate decryption at the endpoint before deploying.
wrap the existing code in try/catch blocks when adding encryption. test with sample data first. maybe use existing libs like crypto-js instead of custom code
