[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/sindresorhus/hasha.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/github/sindresorhus/hasha)

Convenience wrapper around the core [`crypto` Hash class](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createhash_algorithm) with simpler API and better defaults.

## Install

```
$ npm install hasha
```

## Usage

```js
const hasha = require('hasha');

hasha('unicorn');
//=> 'e233b19aabc7d5e53826fb734d1222f1f0444c3a3fc67ff4af370a66e7cadd2cb24009f1bc86f0bed12ca5fcb226145ad10fc5f650f6ef0959f8aadc5a594b27'
```

```js
const hasha = require('hasha');

(async () => {
	console.log(await hasha.async('unicorn'));
	//=> 'e233b19aabc7d5e53826fb734d1222f1f0444c3a3fc67ff4af370a66e7cadd2cb24009f1bc86f0bed12ca5fcb226145ad10fc5f650f6ef0959f8aadc5a594b27'
})();
```

```js
const hasha = require('hasha');

// Hash the process input and output the hash sum
process.stdin.pipe(hasha.stream()).pipe(process.stdout);
```

```js
const hasha = require('hasha');

(async () => {
	// Get the MD5 hash of an image
	const hash = await hasha.fromFile('unicorn.png', {algorithm: 'md5'});

	console.log(hash);
	//=> '1abcb33beeb811dca15f0ac3e47b88d9'
})();
```

## API

See the Node.js [`crypto` docs](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createhash_algorithm_options) for more about hashing.

### hasha(input, options?)

Returns a hash.

#### input

Type: `Buffer | string | Array<Buffer | string>`

Buffer you want to hash.

While strings are supported you should prefer buffers as they're faster to hash. Although if you already have a string you should not convert it to a buffer.

Pass an array instead of concatenating strings and/or buffers. The output is the same, but arrays do not incur the overhead of concatenation.

#### options

Type: `object`

##### encoding

Type: `string`\
Default: `'hex'`\
Values: `'hex' | 'base64' | 'buffer' | 'latin1'`

Encoding of the returned hash.

##### algorithm

Type: `string`\
Default: `'sha512'`\
Values: `'md5' | 'sha1' | 'sha256' | 'sha512'` *([Platform dependent](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createhash_algorithm_options))*

*The `md5` algorithm is good for [file revving](https://github.com/sindresorhus/rev-hash), but you should never use `md5` or `sha1` for anything sensitive. [They're insecure.](https://security.googleblog.com/2014/09/gradually-sunsetting-sha-1.html)*

### hasha.async(input, options?)

In Node.js 12 or later, the operation is executed using `worker_threads`. A thread is lazily spawned on the first operation and lives until the end of the program execution. It's unrefed, so it won't keep the process alive.

Returns a hash asynchronously.

### hasha.stream(options?)

Returns a [hash transform stream](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_class_hash).

### hasha.fromStream(stream, options?)

Returns a `Promise` for the calculated hash.

### hasha.fromFile(filepath, options?)

In Node.js 12 or later, the operation is executed using `worker_threads`. A thread is lazily spawned on the first operation and lives until the end of the program execution. It's unrefed, so it won't keep the process alive.

Returns a `Promise` for the calculated file hash.

### hasha.fromFileSync(filepath, options?)

Returns the calculated file hash.
