Buttercup is a JavaScript password manager for NodeJS and the browser (though you can also see it used on platforms like React Native). It's based around the concept of a Vault and its secret Entry items (a login, credit card etc.). Entries are then separated into Group containers that make organising vaults a little easier. Because Buttercup is designed first and foremost to be consumed by users in some application, VaultManager and VaultSource constructs are provided to allow for easy control over several vaults in a somewhat shared environment. A vault manager provides easy-to-use methods to perform dehydration and rehydration (storage in serialised form) of vaults to some secure storage (files, remote datasources etc.). Buttercup can save and load vaults that are stored locally, in cloud service providers like Dropbox or Google Drive, or in a cloud service's WebDAV-enabled storage. It does this by providing a Datasource construct for each provider. Because Buttercup can be consumed in some interesting and varied environments, serialisation tools called facades are provided to allow for greater flexibility when working with vault data structures. Facades provide a way to move data around without classes, converting vaults to and from JSON objects. Facades are used when attaching vaults to user interfaces like with the Buttercup UI library.
