# md5-hex [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/md5-hex)
|
|
|
|
> Create a MD5 hash with hex encoding
|
|
|
|
*Please don't use MD5 hashes for anything sensitive!*
|
|
|
|
Works in the browser too, when used with browserify/webpack.
|
|
|
|
Checkout [`hasha`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/hasha) if you need something more flexible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install --save md5-hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const fs = require('fs');
|
|
const md5Hex = require('md5-hex');
|
|
const buffer = fs.readFileSync('unicorn.png');
|
|
|
|
md5Hex(buffer);
|
|
//=> '1abcb33beeb811dca15f0ac3e47b88d9'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### md5Hex(input)
|
|
|
|
#### input
|
|
|
|
Type: `Buffer` `string` `Buffer[]` `string[]`
|
|
|
|
Prefer buffers as they're faster to hash, but strings can be useful for small things.
|
|
|
|
Pass an array instead of concatenating strings and/or buffers. The output is the same, but arrays do not incur the overhead of concatenation.
