bcrypt for NodeJs
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:35 commits, 4 PRs, 29 comments in 2 years 4 months
Contributions summary:Nicola primarily focused on porting the existing `bcrypt` functionality from a NAN implementation to the N-API. This involved refactoring the code to adapt to the new API, as seen in the modifications to `src/bcrypt_node.cc` and `binding.gyp`. The commits demonstrate the migration of functions such as `GenerateSalt`, `Encrypt`, and `Compare`, including changes to the underlying async worker implementations and the handling of arguments. This work modernized the library to use the current best practices for Node.js native add-ons.
