Using path to .crt, .cert, or .pem file.

import certstore from 'cert-store'
var certPath = './testsrv.root-ca.crt'
// installing certificate
await certstore.install(certPath)
// checking if cert is already installed
console.log('installed', await certstore.isInstalled(certPath))
// deleting certificate
await certstore.delete(certPath)

Using pem string.

import certstore from 'cert-store'
var pem = `
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIB8TCCAVqgAwIBAgIJF7pYoC10fT2eMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMCsxKTAnBgNV
...
ZlMu5/XGsj/RuQx8iwEMHokKvEkW
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
`
// Install certificate from pem string.
await certstore.install(pem)
// Check for existence or delete (uses certificate's serial number).
var installed = await certstore.isInstalled(pem)
await certstore.delete(pem)

import forge from 'node-forge'
import certstore from 'cert-store'
// Create your cert with node-forge.
// WARNING: this is incomplete example, look at node-forge's readme for more info.
var keys = pki.rsa.generateKeyPair(2048)
var cert = pki.createCertificate()
cert.publicKey = keys.publicKey
// certificate has to have UNIQUE serialNumber.
cert.serialNumber = '0123456789'
cert.validity.notBefore = new Date()
cert.validity.notAfter = new Date()
cert.validity.notAfter.setFullYear(cert.validity.notBefore.getFullYear() + 1)
cert.setSubject(...)
cert.setIssuer(...)
