如何在 Google Cloud Platform 上的 Node.js 服务器上运行 Argon2？

Question

I'm curently building a web app on Google App Engine Standard env. using Node.js 10.16.3. I would like to use Argon2 package . Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to install it locally on Windows7 and have no idea how on gcloud either.

It is said on the package page that:

"Before installing: You MUST have a node-gyp global install before proceeding with install, along with GCC >= 5 / Clang >= 3.3. On Windows, you must compile under Visual Studio 2015 or newer."

I've installed node-gyp globally npm install -g node-gyp as well as Python lastest version which is required. I also installed GCC and then used npm install argon2 to install the package where my project is. I'm not sure to understand the Visual Studio part.

When trying to run the serveur with npm start , I get this error:

Error: myproject\node_modules\argon2\lib\binding\argon2.node is not a valid application

Am I missing something? node-gyp are also not recognized

I found the following feature request about implementing the library in GAE standard, this is also interesting, can you try to do this with GAE flex? I think the library might not be implemented in standard. As in flex you have customizable runtimes, it might allow you to do it.

Have a look at this other thread as well, I think it might contain useful information.

Hope this helps.
