Usage Examples

Synchronous Hashing

const cryptonight = require('node-cryptonight').hash
const hash = cryptonight(Buffer.from('This is a test'))
console.log(hash) // <Buffer a0 84 f0 1d 14 37 ..>

Asynchronous Hashing

const cryptonight = require('node-cryptonight').asyncHash
cryptonight(Buffer.from('This is a test'), hash => {
  console.log(hash) // <Buffer a0 84 f0 1d 14 37 ..>
})

Promise Wrapper Example

function cryptonight(data) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    require('node-cryptonight').asyncHash(data, hash => {
      resolve(hash)
    })
  })
}

cryptonight(Buffer.from('This is a test'))
  .then(console.log) // <Buffer a0 84 f0 1d 14 37 ..>
