CSFLE / Encrypted Mongo Clients

[Ahmadre]

Does this package support Client Side Field Level Encryption?

For more see: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/csfle/

It is very important for sensitive data (like Patients data or credit card data, so enterprise relevant) which we encrypt in our database and only wants that clients decrypt them in use.

It would be great to have all connection options (no not the connection string!) like MongoDB Native library supports for NodeJS applications (see: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb ) and the Auto-Encryption/Explicit Encryption approaches.

Unfortunately my time is limited, and the Client side encryption is quite complicated, so at present I'm not planning to include it. But I agree with you that it would be nice to have this feature.
Which connection option would you need?

no problem :) let me try to port the native mongo driver code from NodeJS to Dart :) should be possible.

I will open a PR and let you know here :) thx @giorgiofran

Edit: The easiest version for CSFLE would be Auto-Encryption options while connecting:

const secureClient = new MongoClient(connectionString, {
      useNewUrlParser: true,
      useUnifiedTopology: true,
      monitorCommands: true,
      autoEncryption: {
          keyVaultNamespace,
          kmsProviders,
          schemaMap: patientSchema,
          extraOptions: extraOptions,
      },
});
