# farmhash
Node.js implementation of Google's
[FarmHash](https://github.com/google/farmhash)
family of very fast hash functions.
FarmHash is the successor to CityHash.
Functions in the FarmHash family are not suitable for cryptography.
A fast, cryptographically-secure alternative is
[HighwayHash](https://github.com/lovell/highwayhash).
As the V8 JavaScript engine only natively supports 32-bit unsigned integers,
the 64-bit methods return strings instead of Numbers
and the 128-bit methods are not implemented.
This module uses FarmHash v1.1.0 (2015-03-01).
It has been tested with Node.js 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18
on Linux (glibc, musl),
macOS (x64, arm64) and
Windows (x86, x64).
Pre-compiled binaries are provided for
Intel CPUs with SSE4.2 intrinsics
and Apple ARM64 CPUs.
Use the `npm install --build-from-source` flag to gain performance benefits
on more modern CPUs such as those with AVX intrinsics.
## Installation
```sh
npm install farmhash
```
```sh
yarn add farmhash
```
```sh
pnpm add farmhash
```
## Usage
```javascript
const farmhash = require('farmhash');
```
```javascript
const hash = farmhash.hash32('test');
console.log(typeof hash); // 'number'
```
```javascript
const hash = farmhash.hash64(new Buffer('test'));
console.log(typeof hash); // 'string'
```
```javascript
const hash = farmhash.hash64WithSeed('test', 123);
console.log(typeof hash); // 'string'
```
```javascript
const hash = farmhash.fingerprint32(new Buffer('test'));
console.log(typeof hash); // 'number'
```
```javascript
const hash = farmhash.fingerprint64('test');
console.log(typeof hash); // 'string'
```
## API
### Hash
The hash methods are platform dependent.
Different CPU architectures, for example 32-bit vs 64-bit, Intel vs ARM, SSE4.2 vs AVX
might produce different results for a given input.
#### hash32(input)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to hash.
Returns a Number containing the 32-bit unsigned integer hash value of `input`.
#### hash32WithSeed(input, seed)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to hash.
* `seed` is an integer Number to use as a seed.
Returns a Number containing the 32-bit unsigned integer hash value of `input`.
#### hash64(input)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to hash.
Returns a String representing the 64-bit unsigned integer hash value of `input`.
#### hash64WithSeed(input, seed)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to hash.
* `seed` is an integer Number to use as a seed.
Returns a String representing the 64-bit unsigned integer hash value of `input`.
#### hash64WithSeeds(input, seed1, seed2)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to hash.
* `seed1` and `seed2` are integer Numbers to use as seeds.
Returns a String representing the 64-bit unsigned integer hash value of `input`.
### Fingerprint
The fingerprint methods are platform independent, producing the same results for a given input on any machine.
#### fingerprint32(input)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to fingerprint.
Returns a Number containing the 32-bit unsigned integer fingerprint value of `input`.
#### fingerprint64(input)
* `input` is the Buffer or String to fingerprint.
Returns a String representing the 64-bit unsigned integer fingerprint value of `input`.
## Testing
```sh
npm test
```
