Node.bcrypt.js: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'aws-sdk' in

[j-d-carmichael]

• What went wrong?
  bcrypt uses node-pre-gyp which wants to use aws-sdk which is not installed which then webpack cannot resolve.

I am not excluding the node_modules from the packed build so as to ensure easier and pain free CI/D.

• What did you expect to happen?
  webpack build the packed file without complaint

• Which version of nodejs and OS?
  LinuxMint 18lts
  Node 10 lts

This is a workaround which then creates another problem.

Instead of being left with a single file you are left with 1 packed file and a node_modules folder which is then a pain to deploy, much easier to ship a single 3-5mb file than 1 file plus 60-100mb+ node_modules folder :/

I solved it by using bcryptjs
It is working in the browser

So far @proficiat 's answer worked for me. Apparently bycryptjs works just as well bcrypt but eliminates the problem I had with "aws-sdk". You do not have to change any code. Simply run an npm install bcryptjs --save and change where you have var bycrypt = require("bycrypt") to var bcrypt = require("bycryptjs"). From my experince they have the same exact functions just somehow works better than regular bycrypt.
