## Overview

**`Bcrypt`** is a package in Go that implements Provos and Mazières's `bcrypt` adaptive hashing algorithm to calculate the hash.

## Implementation

First, we have to install the package, like so:

`$ go get golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt`


## Example


package main

import (
    "golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    pass := []byte("People talk things not reasonable but you need not worry")

    // Hashing the password
    hash, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword(pass, bcrypt.DefaultCost)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(string(hash))

   
}

## Explanation

In the example above: 

1. In line 4, we import the `bcrypt` package for hashing.

2. In line 5, we import the `fmt` package for printing.

3. In line 9, we use `byte()` to convert what we want to hash to bytes since `bcrypt` only accepts data with type `byte`.

4. In line 12, we initialize the `hash` and `err` variables.

5. We then call the 
`bcrypt` the package, which we chain with `GenerateFromPassword()`.

6. We pass two parameter/arguments:

   i. The string to be hashed.

   ii. `DefaultCost`, which is 10.

7. We then check for errors.
```
if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
```

8. Finally, we print out the hash value.

## Output

```
$2a$10$TC1Rg.Usl51amxo9anbqTukoD/VSEMD.kyM/gwfnHnz4/64fcejdi
```
Please execute the code sample. Your hash should look like the above.

How to use Bcrypt to hash in Go

Install the Bcrypt package, convert the input to bytes, generate the hash using DefaultCost, and print it.
