CryptoHasher.constructor

constructor CryptoHasher(

algorithm: SupportedCryptoAlgorithms,

hmacKey?: string | TypedArray<ArrayBufferLike>

): CryptoHasher;

Create a new hasher

@param algorithm

The algorithm to use. See algorithms for a list of supported algorithms

@param hmacKey

Optional key for HMAC. Must be a string or TypedArray. If not provided, the hasher will be a non-HMAC hasher.

class CryptoHasher

Hardware-accelerated cryptographic hash functions

Used for crypto.createHash()

readonly algorithm: SupportedCryptoAlgorithms
The algorithm chosen to hash the data
readonly byteLength: number
The length of the output hash in bytes
readonly static algorithms: SupportedCryptoAlgorithms[]
List of supported hash algorithms
These are hardware accelerated with BoringSSL
copy(): CryptoHasher;
Perform a deep copy of the hasher
digest(
encoding: DigestEncoding
): string;
Finalize the hash. Resets the CryptoHasher so it can be reused.
@param encoding
DigestEncoding to return the hash in. If none is provided, it will return a Uint8Array.
digest(): Buffer;
Finalize the hash and return a Buffer
digest(
hashInto: TypedArray
): TypedArray;
Finalize the hash
@param hashInto
TypedArray to write the hash into. Faster than creating a new one each time
update(
input: BlobOrStringOrBuffer,
inputEncoding?: Encoding
): CryptoHasher;
Update the hash with data
static hash(
algorithm: SupportedCryptoAlgorithms,
input: BlobOrStringOrBuffer
): Buffer;
Run the hash over the given data
@param input
string, Uint8Array, or ArrayBuffer to hash. Uint8Array or ArrayBuffer is faster.
static hash(
algorithm: SupportedCryptoAlgorithms,
input: BlobOrStringOrBuffer,
hashInto: TypedArray
): TypedArray;
Run the hash over the given data
@param input
string, Uint8Array, or ArrayBuffer to hash. Uint8Array or ArrayBuffer is faster.
@param hashInto
TypedArray to write the hash into. Faster than creating a new one each time
static hash(
algorithm: SupportedCryptoAlgorithms,
input: BlobOrStringOrBuffer,
encoding: DigestEncoding
): string;
Run the hash over the given data
@param input
string, Uint8Array, or ArrayBuffer to hash. Uint8Array or ArrayBuffer is faster.
@param encoding
DigestEncoding to return the hash in
