# JavaScript MD5

## Demo
[JavaScript MD5 Demo](http://blueimp.github.io/JavaScript-MD5/)

## Description
JavaScript MD5 implementation. Compatible with server-side environments like node.js, module loaders like RequireJS and all web browsers.

## Usage

### Client-side
Include the (minified) JavaScript [MD5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) script in your HTML markup:

```html
<script src="js/md5.min.js"></script>
```

In your application code, calculate the ([hex](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal)-encoded) [MD5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) hash of a string by calling the **md5** method with the string as argument:

```js
var hash = md5("value"); // "2063c1608d6e0baf80249c42e2be5804"
```

### Server-side

The following is an example how to use the JavaScript MD5 module on the server-side with [node.js](http://nodejs.org/).

Create a new directory and add the **md5.js** file. Or alternatively, install the **blueimp-md5** package with [npm](http://npmjs.org/):

```sh
npm install blueimp-md5
```

Add a file **server.js** with the following content:

```js
require("http").createServer(function (req, res) {
    // The md5 module exports the md5() function:
    var md5 = require("./md5").md5,
    // Use the following version if you installed the package with npm:
    // var md5 = require("blueimp-md5").md5,
        url  = require("url"),
        query = url.parse(req.url).query;
    res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
    // Calculate and print the MD5 hash of the url query:
    res.end(md5(query));
}).listen(8080, "localhost");
console.log("Server running at http://localhost:8080/");
```

Run the application with the following command:

```sh
node server.js
```

## Requirements
The JavaScript MD5 script has zero dependencies.

## API

Calculate the ([hex](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal)-encoded) [MD5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) hash of a given string value:

```js
var hash = md5("value"); // "2063c1608d6e0baf80249c42e2be5804"
```

Calculate the ([hex](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal)-encoded) [HMAC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC)-MD5 hash of a given string value and key:

```js
var hash = md5("value", "key"); // "01433efd5f16327ea4b31144572c67f6"
```

Calculate the raw [MD5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) hash of a given string value:

```js
var hash = md5("value", null, true);
```

Calculate the raw [HMAC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC)-MD5 hash of a given string value and key:

```js
var hash = md5("value", "key", true);
```

## Tests
The JavaScript MD5 project comes with [Unit Tests](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing).
There are two different ways to run the tests:

* Open test/index.html in your browser or
* run `npm test` in the Terminal in the root path of the repository package.

The first one tests the browser integration, the second one the [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) integration.
