This is a short documentation on what I've so far learnt about bcrytpt hashing algorithm.

Installation:: npm i bcrypt

Has it's method to perform functions i.e bycyrpt.genSalt, bycrypt.hash

Asynch and await are important parts of the code to prevent blocking of the main threads.

BCRYPT KEY skeleton:

str: "abc" $2b$10$wHoplV8Nk0fOYIWQb6MzGe 29

$2b$10$wHoplV8Nk0fOYIWQb6MzGeYoDRPSssnE4rD5Zrn3CqhbUaZJ9tI0i 60

$2b | $10 | $wHoplV8Nk0fOYIWQb6MzGe

algorithm identifier | number of rounds | salt/random string

---

AFTER HASHING::

$2y | $10 | $wHoplV8Nk0fOYIWQb6MzGe | YoDRPSssnE4rD5Zrn3CqhbUaZJ9tI0i

algorithm identifier | number of rounds | salt | value/secret hash
