# blake3 to wasm
**blake3.wasm** is a WebAssembly port of the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function written in **Rust**. It enables fast and secure hashing right inside **browsers** and **Node.js**.
## build
```sh
# lets build it!
# For NodeJS
wasm-pack build --target nodejs --release
# For the web!
wasm-pack build --target web --release
```
SIMD is enabled via `wasm32_simd` feature in `Cargo.toml` and requires:
```toml
# .cargo/config.toml
[target.wasm32-unknown-unknown]
rustflags = ["-C", "target-feature=+simd128"]
```
## Usage
```ts
import * as blake3 from 'blake3-wasm-rs';
const data = new TextEncoder().encode('hello world');
const key = new Uint8Array(32).fill(1);
// One-shot hashing
blake3.hash(data);
blake3.hashXof(data, 64); // variable output length
// MAC and key derivation
blake3.keyedHash(data, key);
blake3.deriveKey('my context', key);
// Conctruct for streaming
const hasher = new blake3.Hasher();
hasher.update(data.slice(0, 5));
hasher.update(data.slice(5));
hasher.finalize();
```
#### OR
```js
import { hash, hashXof, keyedHash, deriveKey, Hasher } from 'blake3-wasm-rs'
const data = new TextEncoder().encode('hello world')
const key = new Uint8Array(32).fill(1)
// One-shot hashing
hash(data)
hashXof(data, 64) // variable output length
// MAC and key derivation
keyedHash(data, key)
deriveKey('my context', key)
// Streaming
const h = new Hasher()
h.update(data.slice(0, 5))
h.update(data.slice(5))
h.finalize()
```
## Benchmarks
Tested on **Ryzen 7 5800X**, Node.js v24.

## Security
The underlying `blake3` Rust crate targets algorithmic constant time. However, the JavaScript boundary (via napi-rs or WASM) introduces non-determinism from the V8 runtime that is outside our control. For absolute security, use the `blake3` Rust crate directly in a Rust program.
