React 2019 Course | Bcrypt error

[JonattanD1440]

Unable to run "npm i", because i'm getting a bcrypt error unable to download and some other dependencies like node, node-gyp and node-pre-gy.
My solution was to installing these packages on their own and instead of using bcrypt, i used bcryptjs.
Afterwards you need to go into the auth and users file and change:
const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
to
const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs");
and it should be working fine.

Open file "package.json" and remove "bcrypt"

Then Install bcrypt-nodejs using:
npm install --save bcrypt-nodejs && npm uninstall --save bcrypt

Replace "bcrypt" with "bcrypt-nodejs" in these files:

\vidly-api-node\routes\users.js
\vidly-api-node\routes\auth.js

I faced the same error but instead of changing files, I just installed bcrypt@latest and it is working just fine. Hope it helps

Even after trying some of the above proposed solutions and also following some advice from a friend, I still have no success. I'm still left with: "3 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 1 high)"

@mamoyz very helpful bro! God bless you man!

Do follow @pouriamoosavi advice and install the latest bcrypt.
npm i bcrypt@latest
No need to edit package.json for me.
Running MacOs 10.14.6 and using the git repo as opposed to the zip file on Mosh page behind the paywall.

@factorlive i updated the bcrypt to latest but on windows 10 it didn't work out . but solution from @mamoyz worked out. I have now another issue with users . i get a 500 internal server error while submitting the registration form! any solution?

@ybakhshi if you're still having issues with this, I believe I've found a solution. If using bcrypt-nodejs as @mamoyz suggests then the following two lines need adjusting in users.js

Line 21:
const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
changes to
const salt = await bcrypt.genSaltSync(10);

and
Line 22:
user.password = await bcrypt.hash(user.password, salt);
changes to
user.password = await bcrypt.hashSync(user.password, salt);

This seemed to get around the issue for me.

Also if you then run into issues during the login form section replace
auth.js:Line 16
const validPassword = await bcrypt.compare(req.body.password, user.password);
with
const validPassword = await bcrypt.compareSync(req.body.password, user.password);

If you are installing bcryptjs in 2020, you are going to change require("bcrypt") to require("bcrypt-nodejs") and not require("bcryptjs")

If you tried installing bcrypt already and are planning to change to bcryptjs, try removing bcrypt first (had similar error, and it worked for me)

[qlian100]

if you get the error"bcrypt-nodejs is no longer actively maintained. Please use bcrypt or bcryptjs. "

This is what I did

Open file "package.json" and remove "bcrypt"

Then Install bcrypt-nodejs using:
npm i bcrypt

This did it for me. Thanks!

It gave me 404 error and I changed the Bcrypt version in package.json to the last version.
