The hash-sum npm package is used to create hash digests of JavaScript objects, arrays, strings, and other serializable values. It is a fast and dependency-free hashing function that generates a hex-encoded hash.

What are hash-sum's main functionalities?

Hashing strings

This feature allows you to create a hash from a string. The hash is deterministic, meaning the same string will always result in the same hash.

"hashSum('Hello, World!')"

Hashing objects

You can hash JavaScript objects, which is useful for checking if objects have changed or for using objects as keys in caching mechanisms.

"hashSum({ key: 'value' })"

Hashing arrays

Arrays can also be hashed, which is helpful for creating unique identifiers for sets of items or for caching purposes.

"hashSum(['one', 'two', 'three'])"

Hashing other serializable values

The package can hash other serializable values such as numbers, ensuring a wide range of data types can be hashed.

"hashSum(12345)"
