Property	Type	Description
kty	`string`	The key type.
k	`string`	The key value.
alg	`string`	The algorithm.
ext	`bool`	The key is extractable.
key_ops	`string` array	The key operations.
crv	`string`	The curve name.
x	`string`	The x coordinate.
y	`string`	The y coordinate.
d	`string`	The private key.

Example

JavaScript
import { crypto } from 'k6/experimental/webcrypto';

export default async function () {
  const jwk = {
    alg: 'HS256',
    ext: true,
    k: 'H6gLp3lw7w27NrPUn00WpcKU-IJojJdNzhL_8F6se2k',
    key_ops: ['sign', 'verify'],
    kty: 'oct',
  };

  const importedKey = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
    'jwk',
    jwk,
    { name: 'HMAC', hash: { name: 'SHA-256' } },
    true,
    ['sign', 'verify']
  );

  const exportedAgain = await crypto.subtle.exportKey('jwk', importedKey);

  console.log('exported again: ' + JSON.stringify(exportedAgain));
  // should print
  // INFO[0000] exported again: {"k":"H6gLp3lw7w27NrPUn00WpcKU-IJojJdNzhL_8F6se2k","kty":"oct","ext":true,"key_ops":["sign","verify"],"alg":"HS256"}  source=console
