Example to BCrypt hash a password.

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

function chilkatExample() {

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

    var crypt = new chilkat.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;

    var 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.
