bcrypt-mini

A library to help you hash passwords.

bcrypt-mini is a standalone, lightweight version of Bcrypt.js with no dependencies, ideal for environments where minimalism and ease of use are key.

Installation

You can install bcrypt-mini via npm:

npm install bcrypt-mini

Alternatively, you can include it directly in your project via script tag:

<script src="path/to/bcrypt-mini.js"></script>

Background

The original bcrypt library in Node.js requires some node specific dependencies that are unavailable in other environments like Next.js edge runtime. Moreover, there are certain times when a lightweight and simple package is more optimal.

There, bcrypt-mini allows you to securely work with passwords even if you don't have access to a Node server.

Example, you may use it with cloudflare workers, static websites, etc.

Usage

Node.js

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

// Hash a password
const hash = bcrypt.hashSync('plaintextPassword');

// Compare password and hash
bcrypt.compareSync('plaintextPassword', hash);

Next.js

import bcrypt from 'bcrypt-mini';

// Hash a password
const hash = bcrypt.hashSync('plaintextPassword');

// Compare password and hash
bcrypt.compareSync('plaintextPassword', hash);

Browser

<script src="path/to/bcrypt-mini.js"></script>

<script>
    // Hash a password
    const hash = bcrypt_lite.hashSync('plaintextPassword');

    // Compare password and hash
    bcrypt_lite.compareSync('plaintextPassword', hash);
</script>
