Deno🦕 module to test if a password/string fulfills all the preset criterias.

import { checkPassword } from "https://deno.land/x/password_checker/mod.ts";

or

import { checkPasswordWithResult } from "https://deno.land/x/password_checker/mod.ts";

• password: string

• minLen: number - To check the password against a minimum length. Defaults to 0 which disables the check.
• maxLen: number - To check the password against a maximum length. Defaults to 0 which disables the check.
• containsNum: boolean - To check if the password contains any numbers. Defaults to true and enables the check.
• containsSpecialChar: boolean - To check if the password contains any special characters. Defaults to true and enables the check.
• containsAlphabet: boolean - To check if the password contains any alphabets. Defaults to true and enables the check.
• checkWithCommonPasswords: boolean - To check if the password is one of the 10000 most common passwords. Need to use --allow-net to use this flag. Defaults to false and disables the check for faster processing.

• If checkPassword() is invoked:
  • Returns true if password passes all the checks, else false.
• If checkPasswordWithResult() is invoked:
  • isValid: boolean - true if the password is valid and passes all the checks, else false.
  • reason: string - The reason why the input password was marked as invalid. Returns undefined in case isValid is true.`

import { checkPassword } from "https://deno.land/x/password_checker/mod.ts";

const passwordString: string = "randomPassword123!.";

let isPasswordValid: boolean;

// Default case which checks if password is alphanumeric and contains special characters
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({ password: passWordString });

// To set minimum length of password
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({ password: passwordString, minLen: 5 });

// To set maximum length of password
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({
  password: passwordString,
  minLen: 5,
  maxLen: 12,
});

// To disable number check on password
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({
  password: passwordString,
  containsNum: false,
});

// To disable alphanumeric check on password
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({
  password: passwordString,
  containsNum: false,
  containsAlphabet: false,
});

// To disable special characters check on password
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({
  password: passwordString,
  containsSpecialChar: false,
});

// To run a check against 10k common passwords
isPasswordValid = checkPassword({
  password: passwordString,
  containsSpecialChar: false,
  checkWithCommonPasswords: true,
});

If you want the reason of failure as well, you can use checkPasswordWithResult() which returns an object of type VerificationResult.

interface VerificationResult {
  isValid: boolean;
  reason?: string;
}
