I am learning NodeJs, and I am trying to implement the crypto library to encrypt and decrpty text,
I am referring the following example -
https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/ref_crypto.asp
The code to encrypt is as follows -
var crypto = require('crypto');
var mykey = crypto.createCipher('aes-128-cbc', 'mypassword');
var mystr = mykey.update('abc', 'utf8', 'hex')
mystr += mykey.update.final('hex');
console.log(mystr);
The code to decrypt is as follows -
var crypto = require('crypto');
var mykey = crypto.createDecipher('aes-128-cbc', 'mypassword');
var mystr = mykey.update('34feb914c099df25794bf9ccb85bea72', 'hex', 'utf8')
mystr += mykey.update.final('utf8');
console.log(mystr);
The code samples seem to work on their environment,
But I am getting the following error when I try to run the same code on my machine -
mystr += mykey.update.final('hex');
^
TypeError: mykey.update.final is not a function

Can someone help implement it correctly to encrypt and decrytp text?
What am I doing wrong?
update line
mystr += mykey.update.final('hex');
to
mystr += mykey.final("hex");
Tried the code according to official documentation
