Hash & Encoding

Overview

A comprehensive suite of hashing, UUID, encoding, and lightweight cryptographic utilities—including JWT-style signing Signet, stream-cipher encryption Cipher, and more.

Imports

// All hash, UUID, encryption, and encoding utilities can be imported
// from the toolbox-x/hash module using the following pattern:
import { utilityName } from 'toolbox-x/hash';

Available Utilities

Hash Functions

• md5 - Compute MD5 hash (32-character hex)
• sha1 - Compute SHA-1 hash (40-character hex)
• sha256 - Compute SHA-256 hash (64-character hex)

UUID Utilities

• uuid - Generate RFC-compliant UUIDs (versions 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
• decodeUUID - Decode UUIDs into version, variant, and timestamp information
• Version Checkers - Type-safe (branded type) validation for specific UUID versions

Encryption/Authentication Tools

• Signet - Sign, decode, verify tokens in JWT style
• Cipher - Encrypt, decrypt text in stream-cipher encryption style

Other Utilities

• randomHex - Generate cryptographically secure random hex strings
• randomBytes - Generate cryptographically secure random bytes (Uint8Array)
• randomNumeric - Generate cryptographically secure random numeric strings
• randomAlphaNumeric - Generate cryptographically secure random alphanumeric strings
• Encoding & Crypto Utilities - Low-level encoding, decoding, and cryptographic functions
• TextCodec - Convert text between hex, binary, and Base64 formats

Quick Start

Features

• Cross-platform - Works in Node.js, browsers, and edge runtimes
• Type-safe - Full TypeScript support with branded types
• RFC compliant - Follows UUID and hash specifications
• No dependencies - Pure JavaScript implementation

Common Use Cases

• Generating unique identifiers
• Data integrity verification
• Creating random tokens and nonces
• Cryptographic hashing needs
• Encrypting/decrypting text, tokens etc.
