Get the hash of an object
npm install hash-objectimport hashObject from 'hash-object';
hashObject({'🦄': '🌈'}, {algorithm: 'sha1'});
//=> '3de3bc784035b559784fc276f47493d60555fba3'An async version that uses the Web Crypto API is also available. This works in browsers, edge runtimes, and Node.js 20+:
import hashObject from 'hash-object/async';
await hashObject({'🦄': '🌈'}, {algorithm: 'sha1'});
//=> '3de3bc784035b559784fc276f47493d60555fba3'Note
The async version only supports sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512 algorithms and hex, base64, buffer encodings.
The output is deterministic for repeated runs on the same Node.js / browser version. It should also be fairly deterministic across JavaScript engines. However, because the stability of grapheme clusters across Unicode versions is not guaranteed, determinism cannot be guaranteed across JavaScript engines and versions. There are also other factors that can make it nondeterministic, like values with floating point numbers and dates.
Type: object
Type: object
Type: 'hex' | 'base64' | 'buffer' | 'latin1'
Default: 'hex'
The encoding of the returned hash.
Type: string
Default: 'sha512'
Values: 'md5' | 'sha1' | 'sha256' | 'sha512' | … (Platform dependent)
The async version only supports 'sha1', 'sha256', 'sha384', and 'sha512'.
Don't use 'md5' or 'sha1' for anything sensitive. They're insecure.
