# crypto-md5
|
|
|
|
There are several md5 modules on npm, but none of them use the `crypto` node module.
|
|
Researching the performance impact of one vs another is tedious, and I just wanted to
|
|
use the core one without having to duplicate code all the time so I just implemented
|
|
this function as a separate module.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
npm install --save crypto-md5
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### md5(data, digest)
|
|
|
|
Returns a base64 md5 hash of the buffer or string. Can return an hex digest.
|
|
|
|
* `data`: buffer or string to hash
|
|
* `digest`: optional digest type. Can be `base64` (default) or `hex`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var md5 = require('md5');
|
|
|
|
md5('foobar');
|
|
|
|
// OFj2IjCsPJFfMAxmQxLGPw==
|
|
|
|
md5('foobar', 'hex');
|
