There are several bcrypt libraries that are available for JavaScript:
- bcrypt ( node.bcrypt.js): This is the most performant and efficient implementation of the bcrypt algorithm because it uses the C++ implementation and simply binds it to Node. However, it has a lot of dependencies and restrictions that make it messy to work with, notably:
- Python 2.x.
- node-gyp: Because bcrypt is written as a Node.js add-on, it is written in C++ and must be compiled for your machine's architecture before it can be used. This means that it must depend on node-gyp for its building and installation process. node-gyp only works with Long Term Support (LTS) versions of Node.
- bcryptjs (npmjs.com/package/bcryptjs): A standalone JavaScript ...
