simple-noble-hashes

Pure JavaScript ES modules version of @noble/hashes - Audited & minimal 0-dependency JS implementation of SHA, RIPEMD, BLAKE, HMAC, HKDF, PBKDF & Scrypt.

This is a pre-compiled version of the noble-hashes library that:

• ✅ Works directly with npm-based CDNs (unpkg, jsDelivr, esm.sh, etc.)
• ✅ Pure JavaScript with ES modules
• ✅ Includes TypeScript definitions (.d.ts files)
• ✅ No build step required
• ✅ Same API as the original @noble/hashes

Installation

npm install simple-noble-hashes

Or use directly from CDN:

import { sha256 } from 'https://unpkg.com/simple-noble-hashes/sha2.js';
import { blake3 } from 'https://unpkg.com/simple-noble-hashes/blake3.js';

Usage

The API is identical to @noble/hashes. Please refer to the original documentation for detailed usage instructions.

Quick example:

import { sha256 } from 'simple-noble-hashes/sha2';
import { blake3 } from 'simple-noble-hashes/blake3';
import { hmac } from 'simple-noble-hashes/hmac';
import { pbkdf2 } from 'simple-noble-hashes/pbkdf2';

// SHA-256 hash
const hash = sha256('hello world');

// BLAKE3 hash
const blake3Hash = blake3('hello world');

// HMAC-SHA256
const mac = hmac(sha256, 'key', 'message');

// PBKDF2
const derived = await pbkdf2(sha256, 'password', 'salt', { c: 100000, dkLen: 32 });

Available Algorithms

All algorithms from the original library are available:

• SHA: sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, sha224, sha512_224, sha512_256
• SHA3: sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, sha3_512, keccak_224, keccak_256, keccak_384, keccak_512
• BLAKE: blake1, blake2s, blake2b, blake3
• Other: ripemd160
• KDF: hmac, hkdf, pbkdf2, scrypt, eskdf

Differences from @noble/hashes

1. Pre-compiled: This package contains JavaScript files instead of TypeScript
2. ES Modules only: Uses "type": "module" in package.json
3. No build dependencies: No TypeScript or build tools required
4. CDN-friendly: Works directly with npm-based CDNs
