Devise password encryption

Question

Hey so I was using Rails for my app but now I'm migrating to ReactJs + Node.

I cannot discover how Devise encrypted the password so I can send the request from my frontend to my backend.

I'm using Postgres for my db.

Answer 1

Devise is using bcrypt gem for encryption (https://github.com/codahale/bcrypt-ruby), you can also look at how Devise is doing it here: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/f39c6fd92774cb66f96f546d8d5e8281542b4e78/lib/devise/encryptor.rb

For more details on the algorithm, you can look here: https://github.com/codahale/bcrypt-ruby/blob/master/lib/bcrypt/password.rb

Hope that helps
