fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash v3.3.0

fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash

Rust implementation of V2 Piece Multihash per FIP0069 compiled to WASM and wrapped in JS package.

Usage

import Hasher from "fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash"


export const digestStream = async (source: AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>) => {
  const hasher = Hasher.create()
  for await (const chunk of source) {
    hasher.write(chunk)
  }

  // Allocate buffer to hold the multihash
  // ⚠️ Calling hasher.write may affect bytes required for digest
  // If you need to pre-allocate see next example
  const digest = new Uint8Array(hasher.multihashByteLength())
  // Write digest and capture end offset
  hasher.digestInto(
    // into provided buffer
    digest,
    // at 0 byte offset
    0,
    // and include multihash prefix
    true
  )

  // There's no GC (yet) in WASM so you should free up
  // memory manually once you're done.
  hasher.free()


  return digest
}

Please note that multihash size is not fixed, so if you need to slab allocate it is best to assume MAX_SIZE for each digest.

import Hasher from "fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash"


export const concatDigest = async (left: AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>, right: AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>) => {
  // allocate buffer to hold two multihashes
  // ℹ️ We may not utilize full capacity but allocating more is better than resizing
  const buffer = new Uint8Array(2 * Hasher.MAX_SIZE)
  
  const hasher = Hasher.create()
  for await (const chunk of left) {
    hasher.write(chunk)
  }

  // Write digest and capture end offset
  const offset = hasher.digestInto(
    // into provided buffer
    buffer,
    // at 0 byte offset
    0,
    // and include multihash prefix
    true
  )

  // Now we need to reset the hasher to start digesting second stream
  hasher.reset()
  for await (const chunk of right) {
    hasher.write(chunk)
  }

  // Write second digest from the last offset
  const end = hasher.digestInto(
    // into provided buffer
    buffer,
    // at 0 byte offset
    offset,
    // and include multihash prefix
    true
  )

  // There's no GC (yet) in WASM so you should free up
  // memory manually once you're done.
  hasher.free()

  // Return subarray trimming unutilized bytes
  return digest.subarray(0, end)
}

Environments that require wasm import

Some environments require loading wasm byte code with import (e.g. Cloudflare workers). All other paths may be disallowed by embedder. You can rely on the wasm-import export to load bytecode with the import.

import Hasher from "fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash/wasm-import"

export const digestStream = async (source: AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>) => {
  const hasher = Hasher.create()
  for await (const chunk of source) {
    hasher.write(chunk)
  }

  // Allocate buffer to hold the multihash
  // ⚠️ Calling hasher.write may affect bytes required for digest
  // If you need to pre-allocate see next example
  const digest = new Uint8Array(hasher.multihashByteLength())
  // Write digest and capture end offset
  hasher.digestInto(
    // into provided buffer
    digest,
    // at 0 byte offset
    0,
    // and include multihash prefix
    true
  )

  // There's no GC (yet) in WASM so you should free up
  // memory manually once you're done.
  hasher.free()


  return digest
}

Environments that do not support top level await

The main module in this library uses a top-level await to load wasm. In environments that do not support top-level await (ie, legacy browser environments and many bundlers that build for them) you can use the async module like this:

import { digest } from "fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash/async"

export const createDigest = async (bytes: Uint8Array) => {
  return await digest(bytes)
}

or even combine the async usage with wasm-import as follows:

import { digest } from "fr32-sha2-256-trunc254-padded-binary-tree-multihash/async-wasm-import"

export const createDigest = async (bytes: Uint8Array) => {
  return await digest(bytes)
}
