crc

Module for calculating Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for Node.js and the Browser.

Important: Node >= 6.3.0 < 6.9.2

There's was a bug in Node #9342 that affected CRC calculation if Buffer.split() is used (see issue discussion for details). This affected all version starting from 6.3.0 up to but not including 6.9.2. The patch #9341 was released in 6.9.2. If you are upgrading and seeing odd CRC calculation mismatches, this might be the reason.

Features

• Full test suite comparing values against reference pycrc implementation.
• Pure JavaScript implementation, no dependencies.
• Provides CRC tables for optimized calculations.
• Provides support for the following CRC algorithms:
  • CRC1 crc.crc1(…)
  • CRC8 crc.crc8(…)
  • CRC8 1-Wire crc.crc81wire(…)
  • CRC16 crc.crc16(…)
  • CRC16 CCITT crc.crc16ccitt(…)
  • CRC16 Modbus crc.crc16modbus(…)
  • CRC16 Kermit crc.crc16kermit(…)
  • CRC16 XModem crc.crc16xmodem(…)
  • CRC24 crc.crc24(…)
  • CRC32 crc.crc32(…)
  • CRCJAM crc.crcjam(…)

Installation

npm install crc

Usage

Calculate a CRC32:

const crc = require('crc');

crc.crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"

Calculate a CRC32 of a file:

crc.crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"

Or using a Buffer:

crc.crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"

Incrementally calculate a CRC32:

value = crc.crc32('one');
value = crc.crc32('two', value);
value = crc.crc32('three', value);
value.toString(16);
// "9e1c092"

For web distribution, it's best to require specific modules that you need to avoid bundling unnecessary code.

const crc32 = require('crc/lib/crc32');

crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"

Running tests

npm test

Thanks!
