hash user password in lumen

bcrypt is avalible (matter of fact its core php function).

@jekinney why do I get the Fatal error as above then?

Wierd, let me look at my code in a bit and see what I did.

bcrypt is a global helper function for Laravel. If you take a look at the source code, you will see this line of code:

return app('hash')->make($value, $options);

So, essentially, you can just do this to achieve the same thing in Lumen.

$hashedPassword = app('hash')->make($plainPassword);

This will ultimately use the BcryptHasher class so if you want, you can use that class directly.

use Illuminate\Hashing\BcryptHasher;

...
$hashedPassword = (new BcryptHasher)->make($plainPassword);

You can also use method injection.

That's right, crypt is php and in lumen cfg file in commenting or adding the facade() allows access to bcrypt. Soory bad info at the start.

@thomaskim the app('hash')->make('password') works, but why doesn't referencing bcrypt directly? Is it not available in Lumen?

@jekinney using the facades doesn't help :/

Something not right, Maybe version thing, my Lumen 5.0 works fine with the bcrypt()... Weird, but I haven't touched Lumen 5.1 or 5.2 as I haven't needed it yet.

@mstnorris Can you please add below block to helpers.php in \vendor\laravel\lumen-framework\src\helpers.php

      if (! function_exists('bcrypt')) {
       /**
        * Hash the given value.
        *
        * @param  string  $value
        * @param  array   $options
        * @return string
        */
        function bcrypt($value, $options = [])
        {
           return app('hash')->make($value, $options);
        }
      }

Or, you can create a custom helper file and use the above code. You should be able to use bcrypt as usual by then. Make sure that

$app->withFacades();

is uncommented in bootstrap/app.php

The BcryptHasher in Laravel is just a wrapper around the core php password_* functions.

You could call the functions directly. The downside to this would be if you ever wanted to change the hashing method you couldn't just change the ioc bindings.
