Bcrypt in an Astro SSR API

[humble fiber]

I'm trying to implement authentication with using bcrypt, but when starting the server via npm run astro dev I get this https://pastebin.com/ZL1m8QH1 and the server crashes. @mapbox/node-pre-gyb is a dependency of Bcrypt and I'm not sure how to resolve this

Not familiar at all so can’t help too much but it looks like you’re missing dependencies

How did you install everything? You could possibly try installing those missing ones manually for example npm I mock-aws-s3 etc

I just did npm i bcrypt @mapbox/node-pre-gyp is a dependency

But I just discovered the package bcryptjs and it has 0 dependencies maybe I should try that one. Hasn't been updated in 7 years tho and looks more complicated

I would never use a 7 year old crypto dependency. You should use whatever is already in node or deno or whatever your runtime is ideally.

Ig that’s a good idea

Im gonna try out node crypto

[humble fiber]

sadly node crypto doesn't support bcrypt or argon2. What would be another safe option for encrypting passwords?

As you can see in my start message from the thread I had a problem with that

I guess Imma go with scrypt
