NAME

Dancer::Plugin::PasswordRequirements - Configurable password complexity testing

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a wrapper around Data::Password::Simple, and impliments its functionality.

When this plugin is in use D::P::Simple object is retained within Dancer for improved performance, please be aware of the memory footprint implications when using the dictionary check function with large dictionaries.

The development of this module is maintained at https://github.com/Abablabab/Dancer-Plugin-PasswordRequirements

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Dancer::Plugin::PasswordRequirements;

The module is now ready to use, although not good for much. Data::Password::Simple will use its default configuration for password complexity (no dictionary checking, 6c minimum password length).

get '/acceptable_password' => sub {
    return password_check(params->{word}) ? "yes" : "no";
};

If we want to we can construct a new D::P::Simple object using a new set of parameters. This will replace the existing object.

password_construct(
    length     => 6,
    dictionary => '/usr/share/dict/words',
);

Or we can access the existing D::P::Simple object directly, and make use of existing mutators and accessors.

my $dps = password_dps_ref;
$dps->length(8);

EXPORTED KEYWORDS

password_construct

Replaces the current internal Data::Password::Simple object with one constructed with the given key => value list of parameters.

See the documentation for Data::Password::Simple::new for more information.

password_check

A wrapper for D::P::Simple::check.

In scalar context returns true if the password passes the check, false otherwise.

In list context returns a boolean result, and a hash containing details of password check results.

See the documentation for Data::Password::Simple::check for more information.

password_dps_ref

Returns the D::P::Simple object ref stored internally.

Note that D::P::Simple is not thread-safe. So modifications while being accessed by other Dancer workers may have odd effects.
