## Description

JavaScript [MD5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) implementation.
Compatible with server-side environments like [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/),
module loaders like [RequireJS](https://requirejs.org/) or
[webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) and all web browsers.

## Usage

### Client-side

Install the **blueimp-md5** package with [NPM](https://www.npmjs.org/):

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

Include the (minified) JavaScript [MD5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5)
script in your HTML markup:

```html

```

In your application code, calculate the
([hex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal)-encoded)
[MD5](https://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](https://nodejs.org/).

Install the **blueimp-md5** package with [NPM](https://www.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'),
// Use the following version if you installed the package with npm:
// var md5 = require("blueimp-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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal)-encoded)
[MD5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) hash of a given string value:

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

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

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

Calculate the raw [HMAC](https://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](https://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](https://nodejs.org/) integration.
