Code Example of Bcrypt

const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
const saltRounds = 8;
const plainTextPassword1 = "DFGh5546*%^__90";

bcrypt
  .genSalt(8)
  .then(salt => {
    console.log(`Salt: ${salt}`);
    return bcrypt.hash('DFGh5546*%^__90', '$2b$08$GDaOC.xi.6tChS8B1IOXt.');
  })
  .then(hash => {
    console.log(`hash: ${hash}`);

    // Store hash in your password DB.
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err.message));


const hash = "$2b$08$GDaOC.xi.6tChS8B1IOXt.aXlD0XyLAlDbLNzJUaQjWicqyedDpie";

bcrypt.compare(plainTextPassword1, hash).then(res => {
    console.log(res);
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err.message));
