✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Filter::sha1 — aka the CGI::A...::sha1(3pm) manual, with the truncated name doing its little icon thing 💅. It's an SHA1 Password filter. That's the vibe. ✨

🫶 METHODS 🫶

🌸 filter ( (hex base64 binary), $string ) 🌸

This will generate an SHA1 hash of the string in the requested format. By default, hex encoding is used. That's it, that's the move. 💖

Like, for example:

my $filtered = $class->filter('base64', 'foobar'); # iEPX+SQWIR3p67lj/0zigSWTKHg

or, as the page says, -or-:

my $filtered = $class->filter(undef, 'foobar'); # 8843d7f92416211de9ebb963ff4ce28125932878

🦋 check ( (hex base64 binary), $string, $sha1 ) 🦋

This will generate an SHA1 hash of the string, and compare it against the provided SHA1 string. If no encoding type is specified, the length of the SHA1 string will be tested to see what format it is in. So it's lowkey checking the length to see what format it's in, iykyk 😭.

Example time:

if ($class->check(undef, 'foobar', '8843d7f92416211de9ebb963ff4ce28125932878')) {
    # they match
}
