simple-noble-hashes

Pure JavaScript ES modules version of @noble/hashes - Audited & minimal 0-dependency JS implementation of SHA, RIPEMD, BLAKE, HMAC, HKDF, PBKDF & Scrypt.

This is a pre-compiled version of the noble-hashes library that:
- ✅ Works directly with npm-based CDNs (unpkg, jsDelivr, esm.sh, etc.)
- ✅ Pure JavaScript with ES modules
- ✅ Includes TypeScript definitions (.d.ts files)
- ✅ No build step required
- ✅ Same API as the original @noble/hashes

Installation

``bash
npm install simple-noble-hashes
`

Or use directly from CDN:

`js
import { sha256 } from 'https://unpkg.com/simple-noble-hashes/sha2.js';
import { blake3 } from 'https://unpkg.com/simple-noble-hashes/blake3.js';
`

Usage

The API is identical to @noble/hashes. Please refer to the original documentation for detailed usage instructions.

Quick example:

`js
import { sha256 } from 'simple-noble-hashes/sha2';
import { blake3 } from 'simple-noble-hashes/blake3';
import { hmac } from 'simple-noble-hashes/hmac';
import { pbkdf2 } from 'simple-noble-hashes/pbkdf2';

// SHA-256 hash
const hash = sha256('hello world');

// BLAKE3 hash
const blake3Hash = blake3('hello world');

// HMAC-SHA256
const mac = hmac(sha256, 'key', 'message');

// PBKDF2
const derived = await pbkdf2(sha256, 'password', 'salt', { c: 100000, dkLen: 32 });
`

Available Algorithms

All algorithms from the original library are available:

- SHA: sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, sha224, sha512_224, sha512_256
- SHA3: sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, sha3_512, keccak_224, keccak_256, keccak_384, keccak_512
- BLAKE: blake1, blake2s, blake2b, blake3
- Other: ripemd160
- KDF: hmac, hkdf, pbkdf2, scrypt, eskdf

Differences from @noble/hashes

1. Pre-compiled: This package contains JavaScript files instead of TypeScript
2. ES Modules only: Uses "type": "module"` in package.json
3. No build dependencies: No TypeScript or build tools required
4. CDN-friendly: Works directly with npm-based CDNs
