custom-hash lets you create (very) customisable hashes of 128 bits or less.
Deterministically creating a hash of a limited length, using a defined set of characters.
var hash = require('custom-hash');
hash.configure({ charSet: [ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F' ], maxLength: 10 });
hash.digest('Hello World');
-> 'BECFBFECAD'
hash.digest('Hello World!');
-> 'CCABBACAEE'
Without customisation, custom-hash is just an inefficient way of generating an MD5 hash.
hash.digest('Hello World!');
-> 'ed076287532e86365e841e92bfc50d8c'
Converting the MD5 hash to a different base is done by changing the number of characters in the charSet config property.
hash.configure({ charSet: [ '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' ] });
hash.digest('Hello World!');
-> '315065379476721403163906509030895717772'
Shortening the output is achieved by decreasing the value of the maxLength config property.
hash.configure({ maxLength: 10 });
hash.digest('Hello World!');
-> 'ed07628753'
Choosing the part of the hash to use is achieved by setting right to true in the config.
hash.configure({ right: true, maxLength: 10 });
hash.digest('Hello World!');
-> '92bfc50d8c'
They are,
var DEFAULTS = {
charSet: [ '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' ],
maxLength: 128,
right: false
};
A parameterless call to the function configure resets the configuration to its default values.
var hash = require('custom-hash');
hash.configure();
