How to hash passwords with Node.js?

To hash passwords with Node.js, we use the bcrypt package.

For instance, we write

import * as bcrypt from "bcrypt";

export const Encrypt = {
  cryptPassword: async (password) => {
    const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
    const hash = await bcrypt.hash(password, salt);
    return hash;
  },
  comparePassword: async (password, hashPassword) => {
    return await bcrypt.compare(password, hashPassword);
  },
};

to call genSalt to create a salt in the cryptPassword function.

Then we call hash to hash the password with the salt.

And then we call bcrypt.compare to compare the raw password with the hashedPassword with compare.
