# node-object-hash

Tiny and fast node.js object hash library with properties/arrays sorting to provide constant hashes.
It also provides a method that returns sorted object strings that can be used for object comparison without hashes.
One of the fastest among other analogues (see [benchmarks](#benchmarks)).

Hashes are built on top of node's crypto module
(so for using in browser use something like [browserify-crypto](https://github.com/crypto-browserify/crypto-browserify) or some kind of crypto functions polyfills). Or you can use only `objectSorter` ([source](https://github.com/SkeLLLa/node-object-hash/blob/master/objectSorter.js)) for getting your objects' string representation and compare or pass them to your own hash function.

# Installation

`npm i node-object-hash -S`

# Features
- Supports object property sorting for constant hashes for objects with same properties, but different order.
- Supports ES6 Maps and Sets.
- Supports type coercion (see table below)
- Supports all hashes and encodings of crypto library
- Supports large objects and arrays
- Very fast comparing to other libs (see [Benchmarks](#benchmarks) section)

## Type map

This map displays what types will have identical string representation (e.g. new Set([1, 2, 3]) and [1, 2, 3] will have
equal string representations and hashes.

| Initial type              | Mapped type  |
|---------------------------|--------------|
| Array ([])                | array        |

| string ('') | string      | string       |
| String (new String())     |              |
| | |
| boolean (true)            | boolean      |

## Coercion map
| Initial "type" | Coerced type   | Example      |
|----------------|----------------|--------------|
| boolean        | string         | true -> 1    |
| number         | string         | '1' -> 1     |
| string         | string         | 'a' -> a     |
| null           | string (empty) | null ->      |
| undefined      | string (empty) | undefined -> |

# API overview

## Constructor `require('node-object-hash')([options])`

Returns preconfigured object with API

Parameters:
*  `options`:`object` - object with hasher config options
*  `options.coerce`:`boolean` - if true performs type coercion (default: `true`);
e.g. `hash(true) == hash('1') == hash(1)`, `hash(false) == hash('0') == hash(0)`
*  `options.sort`:`boolean` - if true performs sorting on objects, arrays, etc. (default: `true`);
*  `options.alg`:`string` - sets default hash algorithm (default: `'sha256'`); can be overridden in `hash` method;
*  `options.enc`:`string` - sets default hash encoding (default: `'hex'`); can be overridden in `hash` method;

## API methods

### `hash(object[, options])`

Returns hash string.
*  `object`:`*` object for calculating hash;
*  `options`:`object` object with options;
*  `options.alg`:`string` - hash algorithm (default: `'sha256'`);
*  `options.enc`:`string` - hash encoding (default: `'hex'`);

### `sort(object)`

Returns sorted string generated from object (can be used for object comparison)
*  `object`:`*` - object for sorting;

# Requirements

## version \>=1.0.0
- `>=nodejs-0.10.0`

## version \>=0.1.0 && <1.0.0
- `>=nodejs-6.0.0`
- `>=nodejs-4.0.0` (requires to run node with `--harmony` flag)

# Example
```js
var hasher = require('node-object-hash');

var hashSortCoerce = hasher({sort:true, coerce:true});
// or
// var hashSortCoerce = hasher();
// or
// var hashSort = hasher({sort:true, coerce:false});
// or
// var hashCoerce = hasher({sort:false, coerce:true});

var objects = {
    a: {
      a: [{c: 2, a: 1, b: {a: 3, c: 2, b: 0}}],
      b: [1, 'a', {}, null],
    },
    b: {
      b: ['a', 1, {}, undefined],
      a: [{c: '2', b: {b: false, c: 2, a: '3'}, a: true}]
    },
    c: ['4', true, 0, 2, 3]
};

hashSortCoerce.hash(objects.a) === hashSortCoerce.hash(objects.b);
// returns true

hashSortCoerce.sort(object.c);
// returns '[0,1,2,3,4]'
```

## Links

* [object-hash](https://www.npmjs.com/package/object-hash) - Slow, useful for browsers because it not uses node's crypto library
* [hash-object](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hash-object) - no ES6 types support
