What is the reason for your feedback?

It would be nice if the crypt function provided a little more detail about the techniques used for encryption. It seems like it might be based on bcrypt but without digging into the actual codebase it's difficult to tell. My reasoning for wanting to understand the technique is I am trying to determine if I should implement the crypt on my client side using bcryptjs or if I can just use the built-in function and achieve the same level of security.
