19h / bcrypt.js

Optimized bcrypt in plain JavaScript with zero dependencies. 100% typed code.

Optimized bcrypt in plain JavaScript with zero dependencies. Compiled through Closure Compiler using advanced optimizations, 100% typed code. Fully compatible to bcrypt and also working in the browser.

Features

• CommonJS/node.js compatible (via crypto), also available via npm
• Shim/browser compatible (via WebCryptoAPI)
• RequireJS/AMD compatible
• Zero production dependencies
• Small footprint
• Closure Compiler externs included

Usage

node.js

npm install bcryptjs

var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
...

RequireJS/AMD

require.config({
    "paths": {
        "bcrypt": "/path/to/bcrypt.js"
    }
});
require(["bcrypt"], function(bcrypt) {
    ...
});

Shim/browser

<script src="//raw.github.com/dcodeIO/bcrypt.js/master/bcrypt.min.js"></script>

var bcrypt = dcodeIO.bcrypt;
...

Usage - Sync

To hash a password:

var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
var salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync(10);
var hash = bcrypt.hashSync("B4c0/\/", salt);
// Store hash in your password DB.

To check a password:

// Load hash from your password DB.
bcrypt.compareSync("B4c0/\/", hash); // true
bcrypt.compareSync("not_bacon", hash); // false

Auto-gen a salt and hash:

var hash = bcrypt.hashSync('bacon', 8);

Usage - Async

To hash a password:

var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
bcrypt.genSalt(10, function(err, salt) {
    bcrypt.hash("B4c0/\/", salt, function(err, hash) {
        // Store hash in your password DB.
    });
});

To check a password:

// Load hash from your password DB.
bcrypt.compare("B4c0/\/", hash, function(err, res) {
    // res == true
});
bcrypt.compare("not_bacon", hash, function(err, res) {
    // res = false
});

Auto-gen a salt and hash:

bcrypt.hash('bacon', 8, function(err, hash) {
});

bcrypt

bcrypt namespace.

bcrypt.genSaltSync(rounds*, seed_length*)

Synchronously generates a salt.

Name	Type	Description
rounds*	number	Number of rounds to use, defaults to 10 if omitted
seed_length*	number	Not supported.
returns	string	Resulting salt

bcrypt.genSalt(rounds*, seed_length*, callback*)

Asynchronously generates a salt.

Name	Type	Description
rounds*	(number ¦ function(Error, ?string))	Number of rounds to use, defaults to 10 if omitted
seed_length*	(number ¦ function(Error, ?string))	Not supported.
callback*	function(Error, ?string)	Callback receiving the error, if any, and the resulting salt

bcrypt.hashSync(s, salt*)

Synchronously generates a hash for the given string.

Name	Type	Description
s	string	String to hash
salt*	(number ¦ string)	Salt length to generate or salt to use, default to 10
returns	?string	Resulting hash, actually never null

bcrypt.hash(s, salt, callback)

Asynchronously generates a hash for the given string.

Name	Type	Description
s	string	String to hash
salt	number ¦ string	Salt length to generate or salt to use
callback	function(Error, ?string)	Callback receiving the error, if any, and the resulting hash

bcrypt.compareSync(s, hash)

Synchronously tests a string against a hash.

Name	Type	Description
s	string	String to compare
hash	string	Hash to test against
returns	boolean	true if matching, otherwise false
throws	Error	If an argument is illegal

bcrypt.compare(s, hash, callback)

Asynchronously compares the given data against the given hash.

Name	Type	Description
s	string	Data to compare
hash	string	Data to be compared to
callback	function(Error, boolean)	Callback receiving the error, if any, otherwise the result
throws	Error	If the callback argument is invalid

bcrypt.getRounds(hash)

Gets the number of rounds used to encrypt the specified hash.

Name	Type	Description
hash	string	Hash to extract the used number of rounds from
returns	number	Number of rounds used
throws	Error	If hash is not a string

bcrypt.getSalt(hash)

Gets the salt portion from a hash.

Name	Type	Description
hash	string	Hash to extract the salt from
returns	string	Extracted salt part portion
throws	Error	If hash is not a string or otherwise invalid

Command line

Usage: bcrypt <input> [salt]

If the input has spaces inside, simply surround it with quotes.
