crc

Functions for calculating Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC) values for the Node.js and front-end.

Features

• Written in TypeScript and provides typings out of the box.
• Supports ESM and CommonJS.
• Pure JavaScript implementation, no native dependencies.
• Full test suite using pycrc as a refenrence.
• Supports for the following CRC algorithms:
  • CRC1 (crc1)
  • CRC8 (crc8)
  • CRC8 1-Wire (crc81wire)
  • CRC8 DVB-S2 (crc8dvbs2)
  • CRC16 (crc16)
  • CRC16 CCITT (crc16ccitt)
  • CRC16 Modbus (crc16modbus)
  • CRC16 Kermit (crc16kermit)
  • CRC16 XModem (crc16xmodem)
  • CRC24 (crc24)
  • CRC32 (crc32)
  • CRC32 MPEG-2 (crc32mpeg)
  • CRCJAM (crcjam)

Installation

npm install crc

Usage

Using specific CRC is the recommended way to reduce bundle size:

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

Alternatively you can use main default export:

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

If you really wish to minimize bundle size, you can import CRC calculators directly and pass an instance of Int8Array:

import crc32 from 'crc/calculators/crc32';
const helloWorld = new Int8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100]);
crc32(helloWorld).toString(16);
// "3610a686"

CommonJS is supported as well without the need to unwrap .default:

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

Calculate a CRC32 of a file:

crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf-8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"

Or using a Buffer:

crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf-8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"

Incrementally calculate a CRC:

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

Tests

npm test

Similar packages

Other packages similar to crc

crc32

The crc32 package is similar to crc in that it provides CRC32 checksum calculations. However, it focuses solely on CRC32, whereas crc supports multiple algorithms including CRC1, CRC8, CRC16, and others, making crc more versatile.

buffer-crc32

buffer-crc32 is another npm package that offers CRC32 checksum calculations. It is designed to work specifically with Node.js buffers. Compared to crc, buffer-crc32 is more specialized for buffer data types while crc offers broader functionality with support for strings and other data types.
