Example

Generate new password hash

const passwordHash = require('bcrypt-password-hash')

// generates random salt
passwordHash.hash('password')
  .then((hash) => {
    //> hash === 'bcrypt$2b$10$Y6MKD5ZI5gtkvBdYyqwr1.CrHA66ppM/9YNDvacUuqWZSVduKQcIq'
  })

Generate password hash with different options

passwordHash.hash('password', {saltRounds: 14})
.then((hash) => {
  //> hash === 'bcrypt$2b$14$9zjobUQJ9LVswQrQJ7leKe6NnJKMc3ZouykkhZZ6uFa9ARMZVSUgy'
})

Validate password hash

const hash = 'bcrypt$2b$14$9zjobUQJ9LVswQrQJ7leKe6NnJKMc3ZouykkhZZ6uFa9ARMZVSUgy'
passwordHash.compare('password', hash)
.then((isValid) => {
  //> isValid === true
})
