Are there any one-way hashing functions available in native JavaScript?
JavaScript does not have native hashing, but there are many libraries.
I recommend crypto-js: https://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/
For example, to use SHA1, you simply:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/crypto-js/3.1.2/rollups/sha1.js"></script>
<script>
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA1("Message");
</script>
In 2020, there is a native API:
SubtleCrypto.digest()
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/digest
example:
crypto.subtle
.digest("SHA-256", new TextEncoder().encode("hello"))
.then(console.log);
hex string conversion:
const digest = async ({ algorithm = "SHA-256", message }) =>
Array.prototype.map
.call(
new Uint8Array(
await crypto.subtle.digest(algorithm, new TextEncoder().encode(message))
),
(x) => ("0" + x.toString(16)).slice(-2)
)
.join("");
digest({message: "hello"}).then(console.log)
