@duckcoin/fnv1a v1.0.2

FNV-1a Hash Library

A minimalistic TypeScript implementation of the FNV-1a hash function, providing both raw hash generation and range-based number generation

Installation

yarn add @duckcoin/fnv1a

Usage

import { fnv1aHash, stringToNumberInRange } from 'fnv1a';

// Generate a 32-bit FNV-1a hash
const hash = fnv1aHash('hello world');
console.log(hash); // 0x7b9c3b7d

// Generate a number in a specific range
const number = stringToNumberInRange('hello world', 100);
console.log(number); // A number between 0 and 100

API

fnv1aHash(str: string): number

Generates a 32-bit FNV-1a hash of the input string.

• str: The input string to hash
• Returns: A 32-bit unsigned integer hash value

stringToNumberInRange(str: string, maxValue: number): number

Generates a number in the range 0, maxValue based on the hash of the input string.

• str: The input string to hash
• maxValue: The maximum value (inclusive) for the generated number
• Returns: A number between 0 and maxValue (inclusive)

Features

• Full Unicode support (including emoji and surrogate pairs)
• Consistent hashing (same input always produces same output)
• TypeScript support with type definitions
• Well-tested with comprehensive test suite
