scrypt-native v1.0.1

node-scrypt-native

• Zero dependencies (only uses Node's native crypto module)
• Tiny, simple code (around 62 LOC)
• TypeScript typings

node-scrypt-native is a dependency-free wrapper around Node's own crypto.scrypt.

Why not node-scrypt?

node-scrypt's last update is 2 years old and, most importantly, it doesn't use crypto.scrypt. Having 0 dependencies reduces the attack surface and makes node-scrypt-native easier to install.

Installation

yarn add scrypt-native

or, if using npm:

npm i scrypt-native

This package already comes with TypeScript definitions. There's no need to install a separate package from @types.

Usage

import * as scrypt from 'scrypt-native'
// if not using ES6 modules, do
const scrypt = require('bcrypt')

async function registerUser(username, password) {
	const passwordHash = await scrypt.hash(password)
	//...
}

async function loginUser(username, password) {
	// ... fetch passwordHash from database,
	const isPasswordCorrect = await scrypt.compare(password, user.passwordHash)

	if (!isPasswordCorrect) {
		// error
	}

	// login user
}
