bcrypt php to js

This fails because the types of bcrypt hashes being generated from php and node are different. Laravel generates the $2y$ while node generates the $2a$. But the good news is the only difference between 2a and 2y are their prefixes.

So what you can do is make one of the prefix similar to the other. Like:

$phpGeneratedHash  = '$2y$10$jOTwkwLVn6OeA/843CyIHu67ib4RixMa/N/pTJVhOjTddvrG8ge5.';
$nodeGeneratedHash = '$2a$10$ZiBH5JtTDtXqDajO6f4EbeBIXGwtcGg2MGwr90xTH9ki34SV6rZhO';
To something like:

$phpGeneratedHash  = '$2y$10$jOTwkwLVn6OeA/843CyIHu67ib4RixMa/N/pTJVhOjTddvrG8ge5.';
$nodeGeneratedHash = '$2y$10$ZiBH5JtTDtXqDajO6f4EbeBIXGwtcGg2MGwr90xTH9ki34SV6rZhO';
Notice that I replaced the $2a$ of the node hash to $2y$. You can simply do this with:

PHP

$finalNodeGeneratedHash = str_replace("$2a$", "$2y$", $nodeGeneratedHash);
Node

finalNodeGeneratedHash = nodeGeneratedHash.replace('$2a$', '$2y$');
Then compare phpGeneratedHash to finalNodeGeneratedHash.

Note: It is recommended that if you're comparing in PHP, change the prefix of the NodeJS generated hash to $2y$ and if you're comparing in NodeJS; change the prefix of the PHP generated hash to $2a$.
