Usage

Example: Verify Plain Text Password


const plainTextPassword = 'Password123';
const hashedPassword = '$2a$10$SJVY.s8OD3S1D3HJh3n3MeI8yzUmJm0bO5L2R3Z78b8MWg8L4NLqG';
 
nfsfu234FormValidation.verifyPassword(plainTextPassword, hashedPassword)
  .then(isMatch => {
    console.log("Passwords Match: ", isMatch); // true or false
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error("Error verifying password: ", error);
  });

Example: Verify Hashed Password


const plainTextPassword = 'Password123';
const hashedPassword = '$2a$10$SJVY.s8OD3S1D3HJh3n3MeI8yzUmJm0bO5L2R3Z78b8MWg8L4NLqG';
 
nfsfu234FormValidation.verifyPassword(plainTextPassword, hashedPassword, true)
  .then(isMatch => {
    console.log("Passwords Match: ", isMatch); // true or false
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error("Error verifying password: ", error);
  });
