How to export keypair?

[stokito]

Is it possible to export my keypair to .pgp file to save for a backup>
I just tried Local-PGP browser extension but I can't import or export my pgp key. I wanted to send a PR but can't figure out if it's possible to do easily with the library.

If you have a Key object (from e.g. openpgp.readKey), you can simply call key.armor() and save that to a [text] file.
If it's a decrypted private key, and you want to encrypt it first, you can call openpgp.encryptKey.
If you're generating a key with openpgp.generateKey, you'll get an armored key pair by default (also encrypted, if you give a `passphrase), which you can again easily save to a file.

Does that work for you? Feel free to share more details if you have specific requirements for this backup.
