# crc
The module for calculating Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for Node.js and the Browser.
## Features
- Full test suite comparing values against reference `pycrc` implementation.
- Pure JavaScript implementation, no dependencies.
- ES6 modules.
- Provides CRC tables for optimized calculations.
- Provides support for the following CRC algorithms:
- CRC1 (`crc1`)
- CRC8 (`crc8`)
- CRC8 1-Wire (`crc81wire`)
- CRC16 (`crc16`)
- CRC16 CCITT (`crc16ccitt`)
- CRC16 Modbus (`crc16modbus`)
- CRC16 Kermit (`crc16kermit`)
- CRC16 XModem (`crc16xmodem`)
- CRC24 (`crc24`)
- CRC32 (`crc32`)
- CRCJAM (`crcjam`)
## Installation
```
npm install crc
```
## Usage
Calculate a CRC32 (recommended way):
```js
import crc32 from 'crc/crc32';
crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"
```
Import everything (this may bloat bundle size):
```js
import crc from 'crc';
crc.crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"
```
Or use CommonJS (compatability mode, no longer recommended):
```js
const { crc32 } = require('crc');
crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"
```
Calculate a CRC32 of a file:
```js
crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"
```
Or using a `Buffer`:
```js
crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"
```
Incrementally calculate a CRC32:
```js
value = crc.crc32('one');
value = crc.crc32('two', value);
value = crc.crc32('three', value);
value.toString(16);
// "9e1c092"
```
# Important: Node >= 6.3.0 < 6.9.2
There's was a bug in Node [#9342](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/9341) was released in `6.9.2`. If you are upgrading and seeing odd CRC calculation mismatches, this might be the reason.
## Running tests
```
npm test
```
## Thanks!
