Built-in function for hashing?

[aprilmintacpineda]

Think about email confirmation codes or reset password codes, ideally, you’ll generate a random code that is n characters long, currently, I can only do this in NodeJS because I don’t see a function in FQL that will allow me to do something like what bcrypt - npm allows me to do (hash and verify), and also generate an n-character long random code.

Is there any way to achieve this in faunadb, I’m wanting to go full-faunadb mode rather than having a mixed of rest API endpoints for some things and then faundb graphql for the others.

I also think some native crypto functions would be cool. Here is some recent dicussion.

FQL random and SHA256 functions

I need to generate and hash a token for passwordless login. I was wondering if FQL can be used to generate a random string and then to hash it with SHA256? What about generating a simple auto incrementing key on insert like you can do with MySQL etc.?
