node-rsa fails to decrypt

Question

On the client side,

import JSEncrypt from 'jsencrypt';
var cryptor = new JSEncrypt();
const publicEncrypt = (str:string, publicKey:string = PUBLIC_KEY) =>{
    cryptor.setPublicKey(publicKey);
    return cryptor.encrypt(str)
}
// 
publicEncrypt('q7jp7s13txqj968m',PUBLIC_KEY);

the result encodeKey is Reb0MRnfT0q+ydl8xkR8gQ16jXUdyiwa9QJaz7sklBbq+b/j36u7OR4SR2Xqne19W1noQW77dcHP7qxCMq89w3zHXeto655XJIKaVxrJG+pO8PQHyqVOfMiAoCxPf7RqiPqvQ4Niv5uWURperkdnrXD95LMoYd4IBKKqVaGRDluZUpX0THiF2tN8SZ/EBPcWBvOHGPX24BmzfysmewdaQVJ1bh479KyINxTxysSdp1vglrywcZDVKE5geSkOY8WxQWtTuQPEi/OAtNxwFYae9mfssV1dV0LB6Lnpbm/C/51NlCwdddRogqywhLpEnCTbdm7xLoYj2TlwdJuJUWiiYA==

on the server side,

const NodeRSA = require('node-rsa');
const privateKeyObj = new NodeRSA(PRIVATE_KEY);
let AESkey = privateKeyObj.decrypt(encodeKey, 'utf8');

I got an error saying

Error: Error during decryption (probably incorrect key). Original error: Error: error:02000079:rsa routines::oaep decoding error

JSEncrypt uses PKCS#1 v1.5 as padding (and only this, s. #84), while Node-RSA applies OAEP by default (and optionally PKCS#1 v1.5). Decryption is only possible if both paddings match. To use PKCS#1 v1.5 on the Node-RSA side, this must be explicitly specified:

...
const privateKeyObj = new NodeRSA(PRIVATE_KEY, {encryptionScheme: 'pkcs1'}); // Fix
let AESkey = privateKeyObj.decrypt(encodeKey, 'utf8');
console.log(AESkey) // q7jp7s13txqj968m
