These functions are one-line wrappers around the standard library.

Use instead — standard library:

import (
    "crypto/sha256"
    "fmt"
)

sum := fmt.Sprintf("%x", sha256.Sum256([]byte(value))) // hex-encoded SHA256

Use crypto/sha512 the same way for SHA512.

Go Hash

Simple wrapper functions which take arbitrary string input and return string hashes in hex encoding.

The author is aware that this package is somewhat perfunctory, but likes not having to think about the crypto packages.

Example

package main

import (
	"errors"
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/annybs/go/hash"
)

func main() {
	if len(os.Args) < 2 {
		fmt.Println(errors.New("input required"))
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	fmt.Println(hash.SHA256(os.Args[1]))
}

Execute go run main.go "any test string you like" to create SHA256 output.
