CRC32C Module

This package provides an implementation of the CRC32C checksum algorithm in TypeScript.

Overview

CRC32C (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is an error-detecting code commonly used to detect accidental changes to raw data. This implementation uses a precomputed table to efficiently compute the CRC32C checksum for a given buffer.

This implementation targets browser utilization (no backend calculation).

Installation

To install this package, you can use npm or yarn:

npm install @based/crc32c

or

yarn add @based/crc32c

Usage

To use the CRC32C function, import it from the package and pass a buffer to it:

import { crc32c } from '@based/crc32c'

const sData = 'oid123'
const nData = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
const checkSData = crc32c(sData)
const checkNData = crc32c(nData)

console.log(`CRC32C for ${sData} : ${checkSData}`)
console.log(`CRC32C for ${nData} : ${checkNData}`)

Inside Based.db it just builds as a package inside it. In based-db directory, run:

npm run build

API

crc32c(value: string | UInt16Array | Buffer): number

Computes the CRC32C checksum for the given buffer.

• Parameters:

  • value ( The input value for which the CRC32C checksum is to be computed.

• Returns:

  • number: The computed CRC32C checksum.
