HashPassword

Overview

HashPassword hashes password with bcrypt (bcrypt.hash).

If you are coming from Node.js, the closest pattern is bcrypt.hash(password, 10).

Signature

go
func HashPassword(password string) (string, error)

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

js
await bcrypt.hash(password, 10);
go
hash, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(pw), bcrypt.DefaultCost)
go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/crypto"

hash, err := crypto.HashPassword(password)

Example

go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/crypto"

hash, err := crypto.HashPassword(password)

Tips

Import github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/crypto and call HashPassword directly. See the comparison below for the standard library equivalent.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

go
hash, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(pw), bcrypt.DefaultCost)
