bcrypt Installation Trouble

For some folks it's not always easy to install the bcrypt module.

If you have issues installing this module, go see the dependencies over at node.bcrypt.js.

I don't care

I've heard some people have had good experiences with bcryptjs (no native module to compile).

Step #1 - Update /package.json

-  "bcrypt": "1.x.x"
+  "bcryptjs": "2.x.x"

Step #2 - Update require statements

-  const Bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
+  const Bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');

• server/api/login.js
• server/models/session.js
• server/models/user.js

That's it
