What is the difference between the scrypt package on NPM and the scrypt functions in the built-in crypto module?

scrypt package is deprecated while the scrypt function is the recommended built-in

https://github.com/barrysteyn/node-scrypt

#WARNING!!! This module is deprecated. Instead, use https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_scrypt_password_salt_keylen_options_callback

The 'raw scrypt hash function' scrypt.hash() from node-scrypt is now available in the core Node.js crypto module. For the scrypt.kdf() / scrypt.verifyKdf() functions, scrypt-kdf is a close-to-direct replacement.
