hashBrowser

Creates a hash for a value using the SHA-256 algorithm. Returns a promise.

Use the SubtleCrypto API to create a hash for the given value.

const hashBrowser = val =>
  crypto.subtle
    .digest('SHA-256', new TextEncoder('utf-8').encode(val))
    .then(h => {
      let hexes = [],
        view = new DataView(h);
      for (let i = 0; i < view.byteLength; i += 4)
        hexes.push(('00000000' + view.getUint32(i).toString(16)).slice(-8));
      return hexes.join('');
    });

hashBrowser(JSON.stringify({a :'a', b: [1,2,3,4], 'foo': {c: 'bar'}})).then(hash => console.log(hash)); // '04aa106279f5977f59f9067fa9712afc4aedc6f5862a8defc34552d8c7206393'
