bcrypt-rsjs v0.1.0

bcrypt-rsjs

created by Austin Poor

A bcrypt library for Node.js, written in Rust and Neon - designed to replace bcrypt, which uses C++.

Example

const bcrypt = require('bcrypt-rsjs');

const my_password = 'Passw0rd';
const not_my_password = 'tell everyone';

// Hash a password
await bcrypt.hash(my_password);
// $2b$12$MF80o/X4kYVqS4psVu/eKO46fFm5hk6nhqwEykw/joHmR3A0DBX4q

// Hash a password with a custom cost
await bcrypt.hash(my_password, 8);
// $2b$08$zMIjSo9Gd62jtXlHR4eCkullNag4WFpK798jrpytD8Mb/dbW75Nk.

// Validate a password
await bcrypt.compare(my_password, hash);
// true

// Validate a password
await bcrypt.compare(not_my_password, hash);
// false

Benchmarks

Benchmarks were run for bcrypt-rsjs (this library), bcrypt (uses C++), and bcryptjs (which is pure js).

Based on the results below, bcrypt-rsjs has comparable performance to the C++ library. Tests can be rerun via npm run bench.

Sync Hash Benchmark

Runs n hashes in sequential order.

Async Hash Benchmark

Runs n hashes simultaneously, via Promise.all(hashes).
