bcrypt-ts

bcrypt-ts is a TypeScript-first, pure JavaScript implementation of the bcrypt password-hashing function, designed for both Node.js and browser environments. It provides cryptographic hashing for passwords, focusing on security features like salting and an adaptive iteration count to resist brute-force attacks. The current stable version is 8.0.1. The project appears to have a relatively active release cadence, with major versions (v6, v7, v8) released over time, often driven by Node.js version support or build system changes. Key differentiators from `bcrypt.js` include being fully written in TypeScript, providing separate ESM modules optimized for Node.js and browsers, offering better tree-shaking, and having a minified output. While compatible with the C++ `bcrypt` binding, it's inherently slower due to being a pure JavaScript implementation (approximately 30% slower according to the README, referencing `bcrypt.js` benchmarks), which means fewer iterations can be performed in the same timeframe, requiring careful consideration of the work factor.
