isomorphic-webcrypto NPM bundlephobia

webcrypto library for Node, React Native and IE11+

What?

There's a great Node polyfill for the Web Crypto API, but it's not isomorphic.

IE11 and versions of Safari < 11 use an older version of the spec, so the browser implementation includes a webcrypto-shim to iron out the differences. You'll still need to provide your own Promise polyfill.

Note: If you're performing cross-platform jwt operations, consider jwt-lite or jwt-verifier-lite (for OpenID Connect), which build on isomorphic-webcrypto

Install

npm install isomorphic-webcrypto

Usage

There's a simple hashing example below, but there are many more WebCrypto examples here. This example requires you to npm install hex-lite.

const crypto = require('isomorphic-webcrypto')
const hex = require('hex-lite')
// or
import crypto from 'isomorphic-webcrypto'
import hex from 'hex-lite'

crypto.subtle.digest(
  { name: 'SHA-256' },
  new Uint8Array([1,2,3]).buffer
)
.then(hash => {
  // hashes are usually represented as hex strings
  // hex-lite makes this easier
  const hashString = hex.fromBuffer(hash);
})

I just want to drop in a script tag

You should use the webcrypto-shim library directly:

<!-- Any Promise polyfill will do -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/bluebird"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/webcrypto-shim"></script>

Compatibility

  • IE11+
  • Safari 8+
  • Edge 12+
  • Chrome 43+
  • Opera 24+
  • Firefox 34+
  • Node 8+
  • React Native

Although the library runs on IE11+, the level of functionality varies between implementations. The grid below shows the discrepancies between the latest versions of each environment.
