crc32hash

Calculate crc32 hash of a string, Uint8Array, or Deno.Reader.

This module exports 2 functions:

function crc32(value: string | Uint8Array): number;
function crc32Reader(value: Deno.Reader, buffer?: Uint8Array): Promise<number>;

String:

import {crc32} from 'https://deno.land/x/crc32hash@v1.0.0/mod.ts';

console.log(crc32('abc'));

Uint8Array:

import {crc32} from 'https://deno.land/x/crc32hash@v1.0.0/mod.ts';

console.log(crc32(new Uint8Array([97, 98, 99])));

Deno.Reader:

import {crc32Reader} from 'https://deno.land/x/crc32hash@v1.0.0/mod.ts';

const filename = new URL(import.meta.url).pathname;
const fp = await Deno.open(filename, {read: true});
try
{	console.log(await crc32Reader(fp));
}
finally
{	fp.close();
}

You can pass your own buffer that will be used during the read process. By default crc32Reader() creates a new 8 KiB buffer. For repeated operations (but not simultaneous), it’d be more optimal to allocate buffer once, and reuse it.

const buffer = new Uint8Array(8*1024);
const res1 = await crc32Reader(source1, buffer);
const res2 = await crc32Reader(source2, buffer);
const res3 = await crc32Reader(source3, buffer);
