Create and verify csrf tokens

Functions

const csrf = require('csrf-token')

create(secret [, saltLength , callback])

1. create(secret: string, saltLength?: number): Promise<string>
2. create(secret: string, saltLength: number, callback: (error: Error, token: string) => void): void
3. create(secret: string, callback: (error: Error, token: string) => void): void

• secret The secret to encrypt.
• saltLength The length of the generated salt. Default: 8
• callback A function with the generated token.
• Returns void if callback is specified otherwise returns a promise with the generated token.

Create a CSRF token asynchronously.

csrf.create('I like CSRF it makes me feel whole').then(token => {
  console.log(`Look at my fancy CSRF token '${token}'`)
})
csrf.create('I want to make my app safer', (err, token) => {
  if (err) console.error(err)
  else console.log(`Hey I got this from a promise '${token}'`)
})
