Class: abstract HashingService

Abstract service defining the contract for password hashing operations.

Description​

This abstract class defines the interface for password hashing operations. Implementations of this service should provide secure methods for:

  • Hashing passwords or sensitive data
  • Comparing plain text data with hashed data

The actual hashing algorithm and implementation details are left to the concrete implementations to allow for flexibility in choosing the most appropriate hashing strategy.

Constructors​

new HashingService()​

new HashingService(): HashingService

Returns​

HashingService

Methods​

hash()​

abstract hash(data): Promise<string>

Hashes the provided data using a secure hashing algorithm.

Parameters​

data​

any

The plain text data or buffer to hash

Returns​

Promise<string>

Promise resolving to the hashed string

compare()​

abstract compare(data, encrypted): Promise<boolean>

Compares plain text data with a hashed value.

Parameters​

data​

any

The plain text data or buffer to compare

encrypted​

string

The hashed data to compare against

Returns​

Promise<boolean>

Promise resolving to true if the data matches the hash, false otherwise
