Documentation for the non-cryptographic hash utility.
hash
The hash function provides a fast, non-cryptographic hashing algorithm (MurmurHash3 x86 128-bit). It's ideal for scenarios where you need a quick and deterministic way to generate a hash from a string or buffer, such as in hash tables, checksums, or for generating unique IDs from content.
Note: This is not a cryptographically secure hash. Do not use it for passwords or other security-sensitive data.
Usage
import { hash } from "@localspace/lib";
const stringToHash = "Hello, World!";
// Hash a string
const stringHash = hash(stringToHash);
console.log(stringHash); // e.g., '94cd25a1fa21953475635b6667d916f3'
// Using a seed
const seededHash = hash(stringToHash, 12345);
console.log(seededHash); // e.g., '5a88331a4d5071b44e23a5c83374a9bd'
// Hash a buffer
const buffer = new TextEncoder().encode(stringToHash);
const bufferHash = hash(buffer);
console.log(bufferHash); // Same as stringHash
