Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Installation

You can also install js-sha256 by using Bower.

bower install js-sha256

For node.js, you can use this command to install:

npm install js-sha256

Usage

You could use like this:

sha256('Message to hash');

var hash = sha256.create();
hash.update('Message to hash');
hash.hex();

var hash2 = sha256.update('Message to hash');
hash2.update('Message2 to hash');
hash2.array();

// HMAC
sha256.hmac('key', 'Message to hash');

var hash = sha256.hmac.create('key');
hash.update('Message to hash');
hash.hex();

var hash2 = sha256.hmac.update('key', 'Message to hash');
hash2.update('Message2 to hash');
hash2.array();

If you use node.js, you should require the module first:

var sha256 = require('js-sha256');

or

var sha256 = require('js-sha256').sha256;

It supports AMD:

require(['your/path/sha256.js'], function(sha256) {
// ...
});

or TypeScript

import { sha256 } from 'js-sha256';

Example

sha256(''); // e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
sha256('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'); // d7a8fbb307d7809469ca9abcb0082e4f8d5651e46d3cdb762d02d0bf37c9e592
sha256('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'); // ef537f25c895bfa782526529a9b63d97aa631564d5d789c2b765448c8635fb6c

// It also supports UTF-8 encoding
sha256('中文'); // 72726d8818f693066ceb69afa364218b692e62ea92b385782363780f47529c21

// It also supports byte `Array`, `Uint8Array`, `ArrayBuffer` input
sha256([]); // e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
sha256(new Uint8Array([211, 212])); // 182889f925ae4e5cc37118ded6ed87f7bdc7cab5ec5e78faef2e50048999473f

// Different output
sha256(''); // e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

sha256.array(''); // [227, 176, 196, 66, 152, 252, 28, 20, 154, 251, 244, 200, 153, 111, 185, 36, 39, 174, 65, 228, 100, 155, 147, 76, 164, 149, 153, 27, 120, 82, 184, 85]
