The crypto.getHashes() method will return an array that contains names of all the supported hash algorithms. The crypto package has a huge list of hash algorithms we can use. But the most used cipher algorithm is 'MD5 – Message-Digest Algorithm5 '.
Syntax
crypto.getHashes()
Parameters
Since it returns a list of all the hash algorithms. It does not need to have any input.
Example
Create a file with name – getHashes.js and copy the below code snippet. After creating file, use the following command to run this code as shown in the example below −
node getHashes.js
getHashes.js
// A node demo program for getting all hash algorithms
// Importing the crypto module
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Calling the getHashes() method
const cipher = crypto.getHashes();
// Printing the list of all the algorithms there is
console.log("The list of all hash algorithm are as follows: ", cipher);Output
C:\home\node>> node getCipher.js The list of all hash algorithm are as follows: [ 'RSA-MD4', 'RSA-MD5', 'RSA-RIPEMD160', 'RSA-SHA1', 'RSA-SHA1-2', 'RSA-SHA224', 'RSA-SHA256', 'RSA-SHA3-224', 'RSA-SHA3-256', 'RSA-SHA3-384', 'RSA-SHA3-512', 'RSA-SHA384', 'RSA-SHA512', 'RSA-SHA512/224', 'RSA-SHA512/256', 'RSA-SM3', 'blake2b512', 'blake2s256', 'id-rsassa-pkcs1-v1_5-with-sha3-224', 'id-rsassa-pkcs1-v1_5-with-sha3-256', 'id-rsassa-pkcs1-v1_5-with-sha3-384', 'id-rsassa-pkcs1-v1_5-with-sha3-512', 'md4', 'md4WithRSAEncryption', 'md5', 'md5-sha1', 'md5WithRSAEncryption', 'ripemd', 'ripemd160', 'ripemd160WithRSA', 'rmd160', 'sha1', 'sha1WithRSAEncryption', 'sha224', 'sha224WithRSAEncryption', 'sha256', 'sha256WithRSAEncryption', 'sha3-224', 'sha3-256', 'sha3-384', 'sha3-512', 'sha384', 'sha384WithRSAEncryption', 'sha512', 'sha512-224', 'sha512-224WithRSAEncryption', 'sha512-256', 'sha512-256WithRSAEncryption', 'sha512WithRSAEncryption', 'shake128', 'shake256', 'sm3', 'sm3WithRSAEncryption', 'ssl3-md5', 'ssl3-sha1', 'whirlpool' ]
