module BCrypt
  # A password management class which allows you to safely store users' passwords and compare them.
  #
  # Example usage:
  #
  #   include BCrypt
  #
  #   # hash a user's password
  #   @password = Password.create("my grand secret")
  #   @password #=> "$2a$12$C5.FIvVDS9W4AYZ/Ib37YuWd/7ozp1UaMhU28UKrfSxp2oDchbi3K"
  #
  #   # store it safely
  #   @user.update_attribute(:password, @password)
  #
  #   # read it back
  #   @user.reload!
  #   @db_password = Password.new(@user.password)
  #
  #   # compare it after retrieval
  #   @db_password == "my grand secret" #=> true
  #   @db_password == "a paltry guess"  #=> false
  #
  class Password < String
    # The hash portion of the stored password hash.
    attr_reader :checksum
    # The salt of the store password hash (including version and cost).
    attr_reader :salt
    # The version of the bcrypt() algorithm used to create the hash.
    attr_reader :version
    # The cost factor used to create the hash.
    attr_reader :cost

    class << self
      # Hashes a secret, returning a BCrypt::Password instance. Takes an optional <tt>:cost</tt> option, which is a
      # logarithmic variable which determines how computational expensive the hash is to calculate (a <tt>:cost</tt> of
      # 4 is twice as much work as a <tt>:cost</tt> of 3). The higher the <tt>:cost</tt> the harder it becomes for
      # attackers to try to guess passwords (even if a copy of your database is stolen), but the slower it is to check
      # users' passwords.

      #
      #   @password = BCrypt::Password.create("my secret", :cost => 13)
