npm install md5-webworkerMD5 WebWorker
=============
Compute MD5 of files in the background using web workers!
Web Worker is a browser technology that allow some JavaScript code
to be executed in the background, and very likely in another thread.
This library allows you to compute the MD5 hash in the background
without blocking the user interface.
The MD5 computation in this library uses spark-md5.
FileWorker is used
to read files and compute MD5 in the background.
Step 1: Installation
You can download the latest release
for browser and import it in HTML.
``html`
Or using NPM if you use webpack or TypeScript. This package
is available on NPM called file-worker
as well.
`bash`
npm install md5-webworker --save-dev
To use this package in JavaScript, you can require it
`javascript`
var md5 = require("md5-webworker");
or import it.
`javascript`
import md5 from "md5-webworker";
Because this library is written in TypeScript, if you are using
an editor like WebStorm, you shall be able to get the handy
auto-completion.
Step 2: Use it
Just pass in the File object to the global function md5_webworker
( in the browser)
and get a promise of the MD5 hashed result in HEX.
In browser:
`javascript`
md5_webworker(file).then(function(md5hex) {
console.log(md5hex);
})
In webpack or TypeScript project:
`javascript``
hex = await md5(file);
