Encryption library

Current features

Hash passwords, with salt
Compare passwords
Generate random strings composed of numbers or characters

Important to know

You need to store both the password and salt in order to compare later.

Usage of the password hash / compare functions

// Includes sorthash
const sorthash = require("sorthash");

// Hashes the password
var password = "Example123";
var saltLength = 20;

var { hash, salt } = sorthash.hash(password, saltLength); // Returns something like this: aabbbcchhwwxx11133455

// Compares the password
if (sorthash.compare(password, salt, hash)) {
  // -> The passwords match
} else {
  // -> The passwords don't match
}

Usage of the randomstring generator

// Includes sorthash
const sorthash = require("sorthash");

// Generates random chars, the length must be between 1 and 500
var chars = sorthash.randomString({
  type: "chars",
  length: 20
});

// Generates random numbers
var chars = sorthash.randomString({
  type: "numbers",
  length: 20
});
