Simply expose crypto md5 as a single function
npm install crypto-md5
There are several md5 modules on npm, but none of them use the crypto node module.
Researching the performance impact of one vs another is tedious, and I just wanted to
use the core one without having to duplicate code all the time so I just implemented
this function as a separate module.
npm install --save crypto-md5
Returns a base64 md5 hash of the buffer or string. Can return an hex digest.
* data: buffer or string to hash
* digest: optional digest type. Can be base64 (default) or hex
``js
var md5 = require('md5');
md5('foobar');
// OFj2IjCsPJFfMAxmQxLGPw==
md5('foobar', 'hex');
