How to create public/private key encryption- node js

Hi I'd like to generate a public/private keypair in node-js, and use the public key to encrypt message and the private key to decrypt the message.

I need to encode user's secretKey because I use them for individually validation. And then I should decode it. I guess I can use public/private key encryption for this.

I know window.crypto.subtle.generateKey and here is a lot of examples about encryption algorithms https://github.com/diafygi/webcrypto-examples/#aes-gcm . But I guess for using them I need to import window-crypto. And I'm confused about which one I should use and how.

Is there any source, an example or a suggestion for me to do this using node-js?

EDIT: I have learnt that there is no function in javascript that can decode the secret key of token. Secret key is created with special alghoritms.

There must be different approaches and plugins available. I did quick exploration and jsencrypt can be used for your case.

git hub link - https://github.com/travist/jsencrypt
