v8.0.0 - Around the (ESM) World

This major release marks the completion of a long journey that started with the release of v7.0.0: SimpleWebAuthn is now available for use in non-Node projects! 🎉

SimpleWebAuthn debuted in mid-2020 as a combination of libraries aiming to make WebAuthn simpler to use across browsers and "NodeJS + CommonJS" applications. Since then NodeJS has evolved to gain ESM support, and additional JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes have debuted that offer ESM-centric, TypeScript-first alternatives while also implementing Web APIs to offer a more consistent and capable execution environment for developers.

I've wanted to make this project available to developers using these Node alternatives to help them get past some of WebAuthn's rough spots. Today I'm happy to announce that this goal has been achieved! 😌

See the Changes below for more information, as well as additional information on breaking changes made in this release.

Packages

• @simplewebauthn/browser@8.0.0
• @simplewebauthn/server@8.0.0
• @simplewebauthn/typescript-types@8.0.0

Changes

• [server] [typescript-types] SimpleWebAuthn can now also be used in runtimes other than Node. Deno is now a first-class runtime for this project alongside Node (#425)
  • The following list of runtimes are officially supported:
    • (Existing) NodeJS using CommonJS
    • (Existing) NodeJS using ECMAScript Modules (ESM)
    • (New) Deno @ https://deno.land/x/simplewebauthn
  • The following list of runtimes are periodically tested but unofficially supported:
    • (New) CloudFlare Workers
    • (New) Bun
• [browser] Version sync

Breaking Changes

• [server] generateRegistrationOptions() and generateAuthenticationOptions() are now asynchronous methods. Refactor calls to these methods to handle the Promise that's now returned in whatever way is appropriate for your project.
• [server] generateChallenge() (in @simplewebauthn/server/helpers) is now an asynchronous method. Refactor calls to this method to handle the Promise that's now returned in whatever way is appropriate for your project.
