Nodejs md5 generate

Node JS md5 generate.

Although node js provide a strong crypto library on top of the layer. But still we look for a simple md5 and hash for our application.

So here is simple i line code for generate md5 and hash in nodejs

Node JS md5

// your node js file
const crypto = require('crypto');

md5 (string = null ) {
    return crypto.createHash('md5').update(string).digest('hex');
}
// md5 function will return md5 hash for given string
    

Node JS Hash

// your node js file
const crypto = require('crypto');

hash (string = null) {
        return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(string).digest('hex');
}
// hash function will return hash for given string
