md5-hex
Create a MD5 hash with hex encoding
Please don't use MD5 hashes for anything sensitive!
Works in the browser too, when used with a bundler (like Webpack, Rollup, Browserify).
Checkout hasha if you need something more flexible.
Install
1npm install md5-hex
Usage
1import fs from 'node:fs'; 2import md5Hex from 'md5-hex'; 3 4const buffer = fs.readFileSync('unicorn.png'); 5 6md5Hex(buffer); 7//=> '1abcb33beeb811dca15f0ac3e47b88d9'
API
md5Hex(data)
data
Type: Buffer | string | Array<Buffer | string>
Prefer buffers as they're faster to hash, but strings can be useful for small things.
Pass an array instead of concatenating strings and/or buffers. The output is the same, but arrays do not incur the overhead of concatenation.
