Usage

Importing the Module

First, import the argon-sentinel module into your project:

const { hashPassword, verifyPassword } = require('argon-sentinel');

Hashing a Password

To hash a password, use the hashPassword function. This function returns a promise that resolves to the hashed password:

(async () => {
  try {
    const password = 'testpassword';
    const hash = await hashPassword(password);
    console.log(`Hashed Password: ${hash}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error hashing password:', error);
  }
})();

Verifying a Password

(async () => {
  try {
    const password = 'testpassword';
    const hash = await hashPassword(password);
    
    const isMatch = await verifyPassword(password, hash);
    console.log(`Password Match: ${isMatch}`);
    
    const isMatchWrongPassword = await verifyPassword('wrongpassword', hash);
    console.log(`Password Match with wrong password: ${isMatchWrongPassword}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error verifying password:', error);
  }
})();
