Bcryptjs - Shell-Bash

Bcryptjs is a JavaScript library that is used to hash passwords in an encrypted form. It provides a more secure password hashing mechanism than traditional password hashing mechanisms. Bcryptjs can be used in Shell-Bash scripts to hash password in an encrypted form.

Installation

To install Bcryptjs in your Shell-Bash environment, you need to run the following command:

npm install bcryptjs --save

Usage

Once you have installed Bcryptjs, you can use it in your Shell-Bash script in the following way:

#!/bin/bash

# Include the Bcryptjs library
. node_modules/bcryptjs/dist/bcrypt.min.js

# Hash the password using Bcryptjs
hashedPassword=$(node -e "console.log(require('bcryptjs').hashSync('your_password', 10));")

# Use the hashed password in your script
echo "Hashed password: $hashedPassword"

In the above script, we have included the Bcryptjs library using the require statement. We have then used the hashSync function of Bcryptjs to hash the password.

The hashSync function takes two arguments - the password to hash and the number of rounds to use for generating the salt. The hashed password is then stored in the hashedPassword variable and can be used in your script.

Conclusion

Bcryptjs is a powerful JavaScript library that provides a secure way to hash passwords. It can be used in Shell-Bash scripts to ensure that passwords are hashed in an encrypted form. By using Bcryptjs, you can protect your users' passwords and ensure that they are stored securely.
