md5

MD5 hash function used to convert a string to an MD5 hash value (hexadecimal string).

API

md5

Return

Parameters

Example

Basic Usage

import { md5 } from 'ranuts';

const hash = md5('hello world');
console.log(hash); // '5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3'

Password Hashing

import { md5 } from 'ranuts';

const password = 'myPassword123';
const hashedPassword = md5(password);
console.log(hashedPassword);

File Content Hashing

import { md5 } from 'ranuts';

const fileContent = 'file content here';
const fileHash = md5(fileContent);
console.log('File hash:', fileHash);

Non-String Handling

import { md5 } from 'ranuts';

// If non-string is passed, returns a random string
const result = md5(123);
console.log(result); // Random string

Notes

1. Security: MD5 is considered insecure and should not be used for password storage or security-sensitive scenarios. It is recommended to use more secure hash algorithms such as SHA-256.
2. Input type: If the input is not a string, the function returns a random string.
3. Output format: Returns a 32-character hexadecimal string (lowercase).
4. Performance: For large amounts of data, MD5 computation may be slow, so it is recommended to use it in an async environment.
