Use the package manager npm to install Password Meter Pro .
npm i password-meter-pro
It's very easy configure on your application. just follow on below:
let app = require("password-meter-pro");
app.password_strength("1111") # return message = "Very Weak" , strength = 14 , percentage = 11%
app.password_strength("aaaa") # return message = "Very Weak" , strength = 19 , percentage = 15%
app.password_strength("####") # returns message = "Very Weak" , strength = 21 , percentage = 17%
app.password_strength("banglad") # returns message = "Weak" , strength = 33 , percentage = 26%
app.password_strength("bangla1") # returns message = "Good" , strength = 37 , percentage = 29%
app.password_strength("bangladesh") # returns message = "Good" , strength = 48 , percentage = 38%
app.password_strength("bangla1desh") # returns message = "Good" , strength = 57 , percentage = 45%
app.password_strength("Bangla1desh") # returns message = "Strong", strength = 66, percentage = 52%
app.password_strength("Bangladesh#") # returns message = "Strong", strength = 71, percentage = 56%
app.password_strength("Bangla1desh#") # returns message = "Strong", strength = 79, percentage = 62%
app.password_strength("Hello71*Bangla1desh#") # returns message = "Very Strong" , strength = 132 , percentage = 100%
There are some default messages, if you need to configure your own message like "Very week" instead of "You should use strong password", you can do easily here:
// Example: default messages of package,
{
VERY_WEAK: "Very Weak",
WEAK: "Weak",
GOOD: "Good",
STRONG: "Strong",
VERY_STRONG: "Very Strong"
}
You can override these message by using "message" method:
app.message({
VERY_WEAK: "You should use strong password",
});
app.password_strength("####") # returns 'You should use strong password'
//or
app.message({
VERY_WEAK: "You should use strong password",
}).password_strength("####") # returns 'You should use strong password'
There are some default configs for checking validating items on password. if you want to customer that too, you can use "config" method.
// Default configs
{
SMALL_LETTER : {
min: 0,
max: 26
},
CAPITAL_LETTER : {
min: 0,
max: 26
},
NUMERIC: {
min: 0,
max: 255
},
SPECIAL_CHAR: {
min: 0,
max: 33
}
}
You can override these configs:
app.config({
// always checking length of given item of each type
NUMERIC: {
min: 2,
max: 6
},
});
app.password_strength("####") # returns 'Numeric letter must be min: 2 and max: 6'
//or
app.config({
NUMERIC: {
min: 2,
max: 6
}
}).password_strength("####") # returns 'Numeric letter must be min: 2 and max: 6'
