Interface MultihashHasher<Code>

Hasher represents a hashing algorithm implementation that produces as MultihashDigest.

interface MultihashHasher<Code extends number = number> {
    code: Code;
    name: string;
    digest(
        input: Uint8Array,
    ): MultihashDigest<Code> | Promise<MultihashDigest<Code>>;
}

digest

digest(
input: Uint8Array,
): MultihashDigest<Code> | Promise<MultihashDigest<Code>>
Takes binary input and returns it (multi) hash digest. Return value is either promise of a digest or a digest. This way general use can await while performance critical code may asses return value to decide whether await is needed.
Parameters
- input: Uint8Array
Returns MultihashDigest<Code> | Promise<MultihashDigest<Code>>
