RSA encryption text/message using our PublicKey - JavaScript or ReactJS

Question

What I have to do is encrypt a small message through a public key. I have the public key but I can't encrypt any messages. I have tried with JSEncrypt, encrypt-rsa, hybrid-crypto-js, NodeRSA and crypto. Can ́t encrypt message.

The key is something like

 let keyData = `-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----MIIBCgKCAQEAzK1MF/...-----END PUBLIC KEY-----`

The closest to getting anything was through 'NodeRSA', which when doing key.importkey(keyData, 'pkcs8'), returns an error "InvalidAsn1Error: encoding too long"

Can someone give me a hand?

My code is:

import NodeRSA from 'node-rsa';
const key = new NodeRSA();
let keyData = `-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----MIIBCgKCAQEAzK1MF/...-----END PUBLIC KEY-----`
key.importKey(keyData, 'pkcs8');

I stopped here because you gave me the mistake.

• Topaco: The second parameter of importKey() must be 'pkcs8-public' or 'pkcs8-public-pem' for a PEM encoded public key in X.509/SPKI format or omitted altogether. 'pkcs8' imports a PEM encoded private key in PKCS#8 format. By the way, 'pkcs8' is actually a misnomer in the context of a public key, but there is already an issue about that.
• kamikazzi: with 'pkcs8-public' or 'pkcs8-public-pem' give a error InvalidAsn1Error: Expected 0x30: got 0x2
• kamikazzi: I tried with 'pkcs1' and 'public' and give same errors!
• Topaco: Which node-rsa version are you using?
• kamikazzi: "node-rsa":"^1.1.1" library node-rsa
