sha256-wasm

Usage

const sha256 = require('sha256-wasm')

if (!Sha256.SUPPORTED) {
  console.log('WebAssembly not supported by your runtime')
}

var hash = sha256()
  .update('hello')
  .update(' ')
  .update(Buffer.from('world'))
  .digest('hex')

console.log('Sha256 hash of "hello world" is ', hash)

API

const hash = sha256()

Create a new hash instance.

hash.update(data, [enc])

Update the hash with a new piece of data. data may be passed as a buffer, uint8array or a string. If data is passed as a string, then it will be interpreted as a utf8 string unless enc specifies an encoding.

Supported encs are:

• utf8 / utf-8 (defualt)
• hex
• base64

hash.digest([enc])

Digest the hash. If enc is specified, then the digest shall be returned as an enc encoded string. Otherwise a buffer is returned.

Supported encs are:

• utf8 / utf-8 (defualt)
• hex
• base64

var promise = sha256.ready([cb])

Wait for the WASM code to load. Returns the WebAssembly instance promise as well for convenience. You have to call this at least once before instantiating the hash.

The bulk of this module is implemented in WebAssembly in the sha256.wat file. To build the thin Javascript wrapper do:

npm run compile
