Resolving Promise <pending>

I'm looking to create a simple helper function which returns the hash for a given password using bcrypt but everytime i call the function, it resolves to Promises { <pending> } what am i doing wrong?

const saltPassword = async (password) => {
    const newHash = await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds, (err, hash) => {
        if (err) return err;
        return hash;
    });
    return await newHash;
}

cheers

Solution

  • You should do something like this

    const saltPassword = async (password) => {
  const newHash = await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds, (err, hash) => {
    if (err) return err;
    return hash;
  });
  return newHash; // no need to await here
}

// Usage
const pwd = await saltPassword;
