JavaScript MD5

Demo

JavaScript MD5 Demo

Description

JavaScript MD5 implementation. Compatible with server-side environments like Node.js, module loaders like RequireJS, Browserify or webpack and all web browsers.

Usage

Client-side

Include the (minified) JavaScript MD5 script in your HTML markup:

<scriptsrc="js/md5.min.js"></script>

In your application code, calculate the (hex-encoded) MD5 hash of a string by calling the md5 method with the string as argument:

varhash=md5("value");// "2063c1608d6e0baf80249c42e2be5804"

Server-side

The following is an example how to use the JavaScript MD5 module on the server-side with Node.js.

Create a new directory and add the md5.js file. Or alternatively, install the blueimp-md5 package with npm:

npm install blueimp-md5

Add a file server.js with the following content:

require("http").createServer(function(req,res){// The md5 module exports the md5() function:varmd5=require("./md5"),// Use the following version if you installed the package with npm:// var md5 = require("blueimp-md5"),url=require("url"),query=url.parse(req.url).query;res.writeHead(200,{"Content-Type": "text/plain"});// Calculate and print the MD5 hash of the url query:res.end(md5(query));}).listen(8080,"localhost");console.log("Server running at http://localhost:8080/");

Run the application with the following command:

node server.js

Requirements

The JavaScript MD5 script has zero dependencies.

API

Calculate the (hex-encoded) MD5 hash of a given string value:

varhash=md5("value");// "2063c1608d6e0baf80249c42e2be5804"

Calculate the (hex-encoded) HMAC-MD5 hash of a given string value and key:

varhash=md5("value","key");// "01433efd5f16327ea4b31144572c67f6"

Calculate the raw MD5 hash of a given string value:

varhash=md5("value",null,true);

Calculate the raw HMAC-MD5 hash of a given string value and key:

varhash=md5("value","key",true);

Tests

The JavaScript MD5 project comes with Unit Tests.
There are two different ways to run the tests:

• Open test/index.html in your browser or
• run npm test in the Terminal in the root path of the repository package.

The first one tests the browser integration, the second one the node.js integration.
