Hi

I am interested to carry this project further. I having using the module for more than a year now, I don't find a easy alternative for this library.

Hi @narayananramu why not use either Node.js crypto or https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-hash?

[narayananramu]

@jprichardson because

sha256('sss')

is easier than

hash.update('synchronous write'); hash.digest();

[fanatid]

update is chainable method
createHash('sha256').update(Buffer).digest() is valid code

[narayananramu]

@fanatid also

sha256.x2('string');

is easier than

createHash('sha256').update(createHash('sha256').update('string').digest()).digest()

[hijarian]

just write a one-line wrapper in your own code and call it a day, even safer because it's your own layer of abstraction now:

const hash = (payload: string): string => createHash('sha256').update(createHash('sha256').update('string').digest()).digest();
