bcrypt-cluster v2.0.0

bcrypt-cluster

Wraps the bcrypt[/bcryptwasm]?/bcryptjs packages and allows use in a multiprocess node system.

Note that it presumes that the master process has a minimal load; e.g. redirect server, and the slaves have a lot of room to do their work.

It does not wrap the synchronous bcrypt/bcryptjs functions on the workers as they should be asynchronous regardless.

Master and Worker functions

Workers

• getRounds(hash): synchronous, near-zero processing.
• hash(str, salt, cb(err, hash), pcb(progress)): returns a Promise resolving to a hash or rejecting with an error.
• compare(str, hash, cb(err, same), pcb(progress)): returns a Promise resolving to a boolean or rejecting with an error.

WASM bindings

If someone were to port the bcrypt C++ bindings to WASM and publish them, they would likely recieve first or second order in the try..catch block.

Currently, the order is

1. Try to load bcrypt with native C++ bindings.

• If it fails, load bcryptjs with JavaScript native logic (~130% time per bcrypt run)

Promises

hash and compare will always return promises that either resolve or reject after setImmediate calls cb(err, data).

getRounds will always return a number synchronously.
