Adding support for faking hash calls
The Hashing algorithms like bcrypt and argon2 are expensive in nature. For example: It usually takes a couple of hundred milliseconds to hash or verify a password.
The slowness of hashing algorithms can also make your tests slow. With this release, we added the API to fake out Hash calls during tests using the fake driver.
Example
Following is not the real code, but an attempt to explain the situation in which Hash.fake can be useful.
test('create user', async (assert) => {
Hash.fake()
const { body } = await supertest.post('users').send({
email: 'foo@bar.com',
password: 'secret',
})
assert.equal(body.data.password, 'secret')
Hash.restore()
})API
Hash.fake()
await Hash.make('some-password') // goes through fake driver
await Hash.use('argon').make('some-password') // still uses the fake driverCommits
Swapping underlying hashing drivers
Earlier we were using @phc/argon2 and @phc/bcrypt as underlying drivers for hashing values. However, both the packages are not maintained. Even though, the packages code is relatively simple and works fine, but their dependencies on bcrypt and argon2 packages is outdated
