Hasher

To start using the library you need to make it available in your controller and create new `Hasher` instance..

use Quantum\Libraries\Hasher\Hasher;

...

$hasher = new Hasher();

...

        

By default the Hasher library uses Bcrypt algorithm with cost=12 to hash the password.

To set other algorithm you can use:

$hasher->setAlgorithm(PASSWORD_ARGON2I);

        

To change the cost you can use:

$hasher->setCost(14);

        

The hash($password) method will return a hash of the provided password

$hashed = $hasher->hash('foobar');

        

The check($password, $hash) method will verifiy if the password matches to the hash

if($hasher->check('foobar', $hashed)) {
    // matched
} else {
    // not matched
}

        

The needsRehash($hash) method returns true if the provided hash needs to be rehashed otherwise false will be returned

$needsRehash = $hasher->needsRehash($hashed);

        

The info($hash) method returns info about the hash

out($hasher->info($hashed));
