In Javascript it is possible to create hash using the bcrypt library as follows:
const hashed = await bcrypt.hash('input', salt);
My question is what is the length of hashed?
My guess:
Since it adds the salt to output, I guess the length of hashed should be something like:
length_hash = length(salt) + F(input)
However, I could not find a formula for F.
Why do I need it?
I need to know what the maximum length will be in advance to set a max_length on the corresponding field in database.
Any help is highly appreciated.
It should be something related to the bcrypt algorithm not the library itself. Simple search led to this question
