API

Hash a string using bcrypt

helpers.hash(text, optOpts, done)

• text string The string to hash.
• optOpts Object= Optionally define options.
• done Function() Node.js style callback.

Hashes a string using the bcrypt library.

Bcrypt will only hash strings up to 72 chars long. If the passed string is longer than that the helpers.hash method will fail with a warning. To ignore that behavior set the ignoreLimit option to true:

helpers.hash(longString, {ignoreLimit: true}, function(err, res) {
    // Ignoring limit will not create an error
    expect(err).to.be.null;
    expect(res).to.be.a('string');
});

Verify a hashed string match

helpers.hashVerify(hash, text, done)

• text string The string to test.
• done Function(boolean) Callback with a single argument, boolean.

Tests if the given string matches the provided hash.

Set a salt string

crypto.setSalt(salt)

• salt string Any string.

Use it once to set a salt for the crypto functions.
