if you need something more flexible.
npm install md5-hex
import fs from 'node:fs';
import md5Hex from 'md5-hex';
const buffer = fs.readFileSync('unicorn.png');
md5Hex(buffer);
//=> '1abcb33beeb811dca15f0ac3e47b88d9'
Type: Buffer | string | Array<Buffer | string>
Prefer buffers as they're faster to hash, but strings can be useful for small things.
Pass an array instead of concatenating strings and/or buffers. The output is the same, but arrays do not incur the overhead of concatenation.
