Features

• Simple API
• Uses Web Workers in Web platforms to speed up parsing.
• Supports XFile from cross-file package

Why was this made?

Originally, it was created for the web platform to speed up digest creation through web workers. As parsing a large file in the main thread would freeze the app.

Example

From File

final file = File(...);

final String md5 = await FileDigest.file(file).md5();
final String sha256 = await FileDigest.file(file).sha256();
final String sha512 = await FileDigest.file(file).sha512();

From XFile

final file = XFile(...);

final String md5 = await FileDigest.xFile(file).md5();
final String sha256 = await FileDigest.xFile(file).sha256();
final String sha512 = await FileDigest.xFile(file).sha512();
