Description

shasum-object computes a hash string for strings, buffers, and JSON objects.

Sha1 is used by default, but other algorithms provided by Node.js are supported.

shasum-object is committed to supporting all Node.js versions 0.8 and up.

This is a spiritual successor to shasum.

Install

npm install shasum-object

Usage

var fs = require('fs')
var shasum = require('shasum-object')

shasum('of a string')
shasum(fs.readFileSync('of-a-file.txt'))

shasum({
  of: ['an', 'object']
})

API

shasum(input, algorithm = 'sha1', encoding = 'hex')

Compute the hash for the given input.

• input - a string, buffer or JSON object. objects are stringified using fast-safe-stringify.
• algorithm - the hash algorithm to use. see crypto.createHash.
• encoding - how to encode the hash result. see hash.digest.
