NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::CryptPassphrase - use Crypt::Passphrase with Dancer2

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
package My::App;
use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::CryptPassphrase;
post '/login' => sub {
    my $username = body_parameters->get('username');
    my $password = body_parameters->get('password');
    my $hash     = my_get_hash_function($username);
    if ( verify_password( $password, $hash ) ) {
        # login success
        if ( password_needs_rehash($hash) ) {
            # upgrade hash in storage
            my_update_hash_function( $username, hash_password($password) );
        }
        # ... do stuff
    }
    else {
        # login failed
        # ... do stuff
    }
};

DESCRIPTION

This plugin integrates Crypt::Passphrase with your Dancer2 app,

KEYWORDS

crypt_passphrase

Returns the Crypt::Passphrase instance.

hash_password $password

Returns a new hash for the given $password.

See also "hash_password" in Crypt::Password.

password_needs_rehash $hash

Returns a true value if $hash should be upgraded to use the current "encoder".

See also "needs_rehash" in Crypt::Password.

verify_password $password, $hash

Returns a true value if the $password matches the given $hash, otherwise returns a false value.

See also "verify_password" in Crypt::Password.

CONFIGURATION

Example:


            

              
              
plugins:
  CryptPassphrase:
    encoder:
      module: Argon2
      parallelism: 2
    validators:
      - +My::Old::Passphrase::Module
      - Bcrypt

Configuration options are used as the arguments for "new" in Crypt::Passphrase, as follows:

encoder

Default: Argon2 with defaults from Crypt::Passphrase::Argon2.

This can be one of two different things:

  • A simple string

    The name of the encoder class. If the value starts with a +, the + will be removed and the remainder will be taken as a fully-qualified package name. Otherwise, Crypt::Passphrase:: will be prepended to the value.

    The class will be loaded, and constructed without arguments.

  • A hash

    The module entry will be used to load a new Crypt::Passphrase module as described above, the other arguments will be passed to the constructor. This is the recommended option, as it gives you full control over the password parameters.

NOTE: If you wish to use an encoder other than Argon2, then you need to install the appropriate Crypt::Passphrase:: module.

validators

Defaults to an empty list.

This is a list of additional validators for passwords. These values can each be the same an L/<encoder> value.

The "encoder" is always considered as a validator and thus doesn't need to be explicitly specified.
