Need HW crypto card encryption support from node.js

While working with State Farm, their z15 systems are all come with HW crypto card enabled. They require the encryption to go through and use HW crypto card when deploying to production system. Our product WMLz (Watson Machine Learning for z/OS) is looking into supporting cryption through HW crypto card, that is to support IBMJCECCA provider for these 2 types keystores JCECCAKS and JCECCARACFKS. It looks like the zcrypto package that node.js for z/OS only supports APIs to RACF keyrings and KDB. We need this support for our customers production deployment.
