Package Exports
- bcryptjs
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (bcryptjs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
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.
