Inline wasm blake3 for EarthBucks.
npm install @earthbucks/blake3@earthbucks/blake3 is a lightweight, **inline synchronous WebAssembly
(WASM) implementation of the BLAKE3 hashing algorithm**. This library allows
for high-performance hashing directly in JavaScript, using WASM for speed, and
works seamlessly in both browsers and Node.js.
This package is optimized for inline Base64 WASM to ensure **synchronous
loading** without requiring separate binary files. This means you can use it in
your code without worrying about async loading or managing external files.
However, it does mean the files are slightly larger than if they were separate.
- BLAKE3 hashing: Fast, cryptographic hash function.
- Inline WASM as Base64: No need to manage external binary files.
- Synchronous WASM loading: Runs efficiently without async loading.
- Works across Node.js and browsers: Same interface for both environments.

Usage
This package exposes three main functions:
blake3_hash, double_blake3_hash,
and blake3_mac. Each function takes Uint8Array inputs and returns a
Uint8Array result.$3
`javascript
import { blake3_hash } from '@earthbucks/blake3';const data = new Uint8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]); // "hello"
const hash = blake3_hash(data);
console.log(hash); // Uint8Array output
`$3
`javascript
import { double_blake3_hash } from '@earthbucks/blake3';const data = new Uint8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]);
const doubleHash = double_blake3_hash(data);
console.log(doubleHash); // Uint8Array output
`$3
`javascript
import { blake3_mac } from '@earthbucks/blake3';const key = new Uint8Array(32); // Replace with your 32-byte key
const data = new Uint8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]);
const mac = blake3_mac(key, data);
console.log(mac); // Uint8Array output

API Reference
`typescript
/**
* Hashes the input data using BLAKE3.
* @param {Uint8Array} data - Input data to hash.
* @returns {Uint8Array} - BLAKE3 hash of the input data.
*/
export function blake3_hash(data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array;/**
* Applies BLAKE3 hash twice to the input data.
* @param {Uint8Array} data - Input data to double-hash.
* @returns {Uint8Array} - Result of applying BLAKE3 twice.
*/
export function double_blake3_hash(data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array;
/**
* Creates a BLAKE3-based MAC (Message Authentication Code).
* @param {Uint8Array} key - 32-byte key for the MAC.
* @param {Uint8Array} data - Input data to authenticate.
* @returns {Uint8Array} - Authentication tag for the input data.
*/
export function blake3_mac(key: Uint8Array, data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array;

TypeScript Support
This library comes with built-in TypeScript definitions, so you get full
type support out of the box. Example:
`typescript
import { blake3_hash } from '@earthbucks/blake3';const data: Uint8Array = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]);
const hash: Uint8Array = blake3_hash(data);
`---
Compatibility
This library supports Node.js (v14+) and modern browsers that support
WebAssembly (WASM). Since it loads the WASM module inline as Base64, there is
no need to manage external
.wasm files.---
