Node CRC32 Utils

Combines two or more CRC32 checksums into new one.

How to install:

npm install @balena/node-crc-utils

How to build:

Install emscripten, clone this repo then

npm run build

Example:

const crcUtils = require('@balena/node-crc-utils');

// for crc32 checksum use lib: https://github.com/brianloveswords/buffer-crc32/
const crc32 = require('buffer-crc32');

const foo = Buffer.from('foo');
const bar = Buffer.from('bar');

const fooCrc32 = crc32(foo); // <Buffer 8c 73 65 21>
const barCrc32 = crc32(bar); // <Buffer 76 ff 8c aa>
 
const foobar = Buffer.from('foobar');
const foobarCrc32 = crc32(foobar);

crcUtils.ready.then(() => {
    const foobarCrc32Combined = crcUtils.crc32_combine(
        fooCrc32.readUInt32BE(0), 
        barCrc32.readUInt32BE(0), 
        bar.length
    ); 

    // CRC32 are the same but Endianness is prepared for GZIP format
    console.log(foobarCrc32);         // <Buffer 9e f6 1f 95>
    console.log(foobarCrc32Combined); // <Buffer 95 1f f6 9e>
});
