Advanced tools
AssemblyScript implementation of SHA256.
yarn add @chainsafe/as-sha256
import {digest, digest64, SHA256} from "@chainsafe/as-sha256";
let hash: Uint8Array;
// create a new sha256 context
const sha256 = new SHA256();
// with init(), update(data), and final()
hash = sha256.init().update(Buffer.from("Hello world")).final();
// or use a one-pass interface
hash = digest(Buffer.from("Hello world"));
// or use a faster one-pass interface for hashing (only) 64 bytes
hash = digest64(Buffer.from("abcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefgh"));
