md5hex

Thin wrapper around the crypto module that creates an MD5 hex digest of a given string or buffer

1// Basic usage
2var hexHash = md5hex('A string you want to hash'); // (You can also pass in a buffer)
3// 'afb6e4ac5196aa6cddcfbd8fe26cf65b'
4
5
6// Optional second argument lets you trim the length
7var hexHash = md5hex('A string you want to hash', 6);
8// 'afb6e4'
9
10// Or you can give an options object as the second argument to add a salt
11var hexHash = md5hex('A string you want to prefix with a salt', {salt: 'MYSALT!'})
12// Same as md5hex('MYSALT!' + 'A string you want to prefix with a salt')
13
14var hexHash = md5hex('A string you want to prefix with a salt', {saltPrefix: 'SALT!', saltSuffix: 'MORESALT!'})
15// Same as md5hex('SALT!' + 'A string you want to prefix with a salt' + 'MORESALT!')
16
17// And control the length through the options object
18var hexHash = md5hex('A string you want a short hash of', {length: 6});
19// '30540f'
