The latest React projects complains the existing code has a top level await. This proposed change returns the same variables but not as promises.
The code may look a little "hacky" but the traditional way of solving is issue using IIFE doesn't work.
ie: this doesn't work:
(async() => {
const [sha1, sha256, sha512, ripemd160, secp256k1] = await Promise.all([
instantiateSha1(),
instantiateSha256(),
instantiateSha512(),
instantiateRipemd160(),
instantiateSecp256k1(),
]);
})();
export { ripemd160, secp256k1, sha1, sha256, sha512 };

I think this might cause race-conditions in some cases. For example, if I have a NodeJS script that immediately attempts to execute a hashing operation at its entry point like so:

node index.js

import { hexToBin, sha256 } from '@bitauth/libauth';

// 32 byte hex payload
const hexPayload = '00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff';

// I'm not sure if we have a guarantee that sha256 will be instantiated at this point because the crypto WASM promises may not have resolved
sha256.hash(hexToBin(hexPayload));

You might be able to get around this by setting your tsconfig.json (and whatever build/bundler you're using) to target something after ES2022 (where top-level-awaits were standardized IIRC):

tsconfig.json

{
  // ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "esnext",
    // ...
  }
}

I think this would also break the typing where the WASM functions are injected automatically as arguments to other functions too (because sha256, etc, are now typed as a Promise as opposed to a Resolved Promise).

There's a bit of cross-over that might help here (that shows, roughly, how to configure Vite):
