Encrypt text using TypeScript, Node. Generate Hashes & Random Numbers using the crypto library

I have coded for encrypting data using the 'aes-256-cbc' algorithm. In real life, you must encrypt sensitive information like credit card information, secret keys, etc. before storing it in the database. This will prevent the misuse of this sensitive information if the data gets leaked. You will also need a way to decrypt this information when required. In this blog/video, I have written a basic code in typescript to encrypt and decrypt information.
