# create-hash [](https://travis-ci.org/crypto-browserify/createHash) Node style hashes for use in the browser, with native hash functions in node. API is the same as hashes in node: ```js var createHash = require('create-hash') var hash = createHash('sha224') hash.update('synchronous write') // optional encoding parameter hash.digest() // synchronously get result with optional encoding parameter hash.write('write to it as a stream') hash.end() // remember it's a stream hash.read() // only if you ended it as a stream though ``` To get the JavaScript version even in node do `require('create-hash/browser')`
