In PHP, how do I hash strings in Symfony?

In Symfony, you can hash strings such as passwords using the provided security components. Below is an example of how to hash a string in Symfony using the password encoder service.


        // src/Security/PasswordHasher.php
        namespace App\Security;

        use Symfony\Component\PasswordHasher\Hasher\UserPasswordHasherInterface;

        class PasswordHasher
        {
            private $passwordHasher;

            public function __construct(UserPasswordHasherInterface $passwordHasher)
            {
                $this->passwordHasher = $passwordHasher;
            }

            public function hashPassword($user, $plainPassword)
            {
                return $this->passwordHasher->hashPassword(
                    $user,
                    $plainPassword
                );
            }
        }
