All methods contain documentation, but here is an overview:
connectToMongoDB(configPath)
Connects to a MongoDB database given a config path. (something like './config')
hashPassword(password, saltLength optional)
Hashes a password. Salt length is optional, but default is 10.
validatePassword(password, hash)
Validates a password given the password and hash.
to(promise)
Intended to give a better syntax for try/catch. Takes in an asynchronous function, returns error if error, returns null, data otherwise.
Example without to():
try {
const data = await accessDatabase();
// some database functionality
try {
const serverData = await accessServer();
// some server functionality
} catch (serverError) {
// server error handling
}
} catch (databaseError) {
// database error handling
}
Example with to():
const [databaseError, data] = await to(accessDatabase());
if (databaseError) {
// error handling
}
// some database functionality
const [serverError, serverData] = await to(accessServer());
if (serverError) {
// more error handling
}
// some server functionality
