BCrypt Hash a Password

See more Encryption Examples

Example to BCrypt hash a password.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

React Native

import { Crypt2 } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const crypt = new Crypt2();

  // The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
  // The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
  // to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
  // if the default value of 10 is desired.
  crypt.bCryptWorkFactor = 10;

  const bcryptHash = crypt.bCryptHash('mySecretPassword');
  console.log(`BCrypt hash = ${bcryptHash}`);

  // Sample output:
  // BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

  // Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
  // automatically generates a random salt.
