Or you could just use the async versions.... https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcrypt-nodejs https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcrypt-nodejs

  Does that library do the calculations in a thread pool, or is it just async on the main thread? If the latter (which seems mostly likely), then it won't matter.

    It does it on the main thread, pseudo-async, so I agree with you, you should not use this library. Look for a native module instead.

    It looks like that one is pure JS, using native node crypt functionality for randomness. The one recommended in the article[0] actually includes a blowfish C++ binding, with both synchronous and asynchronous methods for comparing and hashing. That binding uses NAN[1] to queue AsyncWorkers. NAN uses libuv[2] behind the scenes to launch a thread[3]. 0. https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcrypt https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcrypt 1. https://github.com/nodejs/nan https://github.com/nodejs/nan 2. https://github.com/libuv/libuv https://github.com/libuv/libuv 3. https://blog.scottfrees.com/building-an-asynchronous-c-addon-for-node-js-using-nan#toc_7 https://blog.scottfrees.com/building-an-asynchronous-c-addon...
