+# object-hash
+
+Generate hashes from objects and values in node and the browser. Uses node.js
+crypto module for hashing. Supports SHA1 and many others (depending on the platform)
+as well as custom streams (e.g. CRC32).
+
+[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/object-hash.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/object-hash)

+
+* Hash values of any type.
+* Supports a keys only option for grouping similar objects with different values.
+
+```js
+var hash = require('object-hash');
+
+hash({foo: 'bar'}) // => '67b69634f9880a282c14a0f0cb7ba20cf5d677e9'
+hash([1, 2, 2.718, 3.14159]) // => '136b9b88375971dff9f1af09d7356e3e04281951'
+```
+
+## Versioning Disclaimer
+
+Starting with version `1.1.8` (released April 2017), new versions will consider
+the exact returned hash part of the API contract, i.e. changes that will affect
+hash values will be considered `semver-major`. Previous versions may violate
+that expectation.
+
+For more information, see [this discussion](https://github.com/puleos/object-hash/issues/30).
+
+## hash(value, options)
+
+Generate a hash from any object or type. Defaults to sha1 with hex encoding.
+
+* `algorithm` hash algo to be used: 'sha1', 'md5', 'passthrough'. default: sha1
+ * This supports the algorithms returned by `crypto.getHashes()`. Note that the default of SHA-1 is not considered secure, and a stronger algorithm should be used if a cryptographical hash is desired.
+ * This also supports the `passthrough` algorith, which will return the information that would otherwise have been hashed.
+* `excludeValues` {true|false} hash object keys, values ignored. default: false
+* `encoding` hash encoding, supports 'buffer', 'hex', 'binary', 'base64'. default: hex
+* `ignoreUnknown` {true|*false} ignore unknown object types. default: false
+* `replacer` optional function that replaces values before hashing. default: accept all values
+* `respectFunctionProperties` {true|false} Whether properties on functions are considered when hashing. default: true
+* `respectFunctionNames` {true|false} consider `name` property of functions for hashing. default: true
+* `respectType` {true|false} Whether special type attributes (`.prototype`, `.__proto__`, `.constructor`)
+ are hashed. default: true
+* `unorderedArrays` {true|false} Sort all arrays before hashing. Note that this affects *all* collections,
+ i.e. including typed arrays, Sets, Maps, etc. default: false
+* `unorderedSets` {true|false} Sort `Set` and `Map` instances before hashing, i.e. make
+ `hash(new Set([1, 2])) == hash(new Set([2, 1]))` return `true`. default: true
+* `unorderedObjects` {true|false} Sort objects before hashing, i.e. make `hash({ x: 1, y: 2 }) === hash({ y: 2, x: 1 })`. default: true
+* `excludeKeys` optional function for excluding specific key(s) from hashing, if true is returned then exclude from hash. default: include all keys
+
+## hash.sha1(value)
+
+Hash using the sha1 algorithm.
+
+Note that SHA-1 is not considered secure, and a stronger algorithm should be used if a cryptographical hash is desired.
+
+*Sugar method, equivalent to* `hash(value, {algorithm: 'sha1'})`
+
+## hash.keys(value)
+
+Hash object keys using the sha1 algorithm, values ignored.
+
+*Sugar method, equivalent to* `hash(value, {excludeValues: true})`
+
+## hash.MD5(value)
+
+Hash using the md5 algorithm.
+
+Note that the MD5 algorithm is not considered secure, and a stronger algorithm should be used if a cryptographical hash is desired.
+
+*Sugar method, equivalent to* `hash(value, {algorithm: 'md5'})`
+
+## hash.keysMD5(value)
+
+Hash object keys using the md5 algorithm, values ignored.
+
+Note that the MD5 algorithm is not considered secure, and a stronger algorithm should be used if a cryptographical hash is desired.
+
+*Sugar method, equivalent to* `hash(value, {algorithm: 'md5', excludeValues: true})`
+
+## hash.writeToStream(value, [options,] stream)
+
+Write the information that would otherwise have been hashed to a stream, e.g.:
+
+```js
+hash.writeToStream({foo: 'bar', a: 42}, {respectType: false}, process.stdout)
+// => e.g. 'object:a:number:42foo:string:bar'
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+node:
+
+```js
+npm install object-hash
+```
+
+browser: */dist/object_hash.js*
+
+```html
+<script src="object_hash.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
+
+<script>
+ var hash = objectHash.sha1({foo:'bar'});
+
+ console.log(hash); // e003c89cdf35cdf46d8239b4692436364b7259f9
+</script>
+```
+
+## Example usage
+
+```js
+var hash = require('object-hash');
+
+var peter = { name: 'Peter', stapler: false, friends: ['Joanna', 'Michael', 'Samir'] };
+var michael = { name: 'Michael', stapler: false, friends: ['Peter', 'Samir'] };
+var bob = { name: 'Bob', stapler: true, friends: [] };
+
+/***
+ * sha1 hex encoding (default)
+ */
+hash(peter);
+// 14fa461bf4b98155e82adc86532938553b4d33a9
+hash(michael);
+// 4b2b30e27699979ce46714253bc2213010db039c
+hash(bob);
+// 38d96106bc8ef3d8bd369b99bb6972702c9826d5
+
+/***
+ * hash object keys, values ignored
+ */
+hash(peter, { excludeValues: true });
+// 48f370a772c7496f6c9d2e6d92e920c87dd00a5c
+hash(michael, { excludeValues: true });
+// 48f370a772c7496f6c9d2e6d92e920c87dd00a5c
+hash.keys(bob);
+// 48f370a772c7496f6c9d2e6d92e920c87dd00a5c
+
+/***
+ * hash object, ignore specific key(s)
+ */
+hash(peter, { excludeKeys: function(key) {
+ if ( key === 'friends') {
+ return true;
+ }
+ return false;
+ }
+});
+// 66b7d7e64871aa9fda1bdc8e88a28df797648d80
+
+/***
+ * md5 base64 encoding
+ */
+hash(peter, { algorithm: 'md5', encoding: 'base64' });
+// 6rkWaaDiG3NynWw4svGH7g==
+hash(michael, { algorithm: 'md5', encoding: 'base64' });

+
+## Legacy Browser Support
+
+IE <= 8 and Opera <= 11 support dropped in version 0.3.0. If you require
+legacy browser support you must either use an ES5 shim or use version 0.2.5
+of this module.
+
+## Development
+
+```sh-session
+git clone https://github.com/puleos/object-hash
+```
+
+## Node Docker Wrapper
+
+If you want to stand this up in a docker container, you should take at look
+at the [![node-object-hash](https://github.com/bean5/node-object-hash)](https://github.com/bean5/node-object-hash) project.
+
