### hashBrowser
Creates a hash for a value using the [SHA-256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2) algorithm. Returns a promise.
Use the [SubtleCrypto](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto) API to create a hash for the given value.
```js
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('');
});
```
```js
hashBrowser(JSON.stringify({a :'a', b: [1,2,3,4], 'foo': {c: 'bar'}})).then(console.log); // '04aa106279f5977f59f9067fa9712afc4aedc6f5862a8defc34552d8c7206393'
