1# @ohos.file.hash (File Hash Processing) 2 3The **FileHash** module implements hash processing on files. 4 5> **NOTE** 6> 7> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. 8 9## Modules to Import 10 11```js 12import Hash from '@ohos.file.hash'; 13``` 14 15## Guidelines 16 17Before using the APIs provided by this module to perform operations on a file or directory, obtain the path of the file or directory in the application sandbox as follows: 18 19Stage Model 20 21 ```js 22import UIAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.UIAbility'; 23 24export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility { 25 onWindowStageCreate(windowStage) { 26 let context = this.context; 27 let pathDir = context.filesDir; 28 } 29} 30 ``` 31 32FA Model 33 34 ```js 35 import featureAbility from '@ohos.ability.featureAbility'; 36 37 let context = featureAbility.getContext(); 38 context.getFilesDir().then((data) => { 39 let pathDir = data; 40 }) 41 ``` 42 43For details about how to obtain the FA model context, see [Context](js-apis-inner-app-context.md#context). 44 45## Hash.hash 46 47hash(path: string, algorithm: string): Promise<string> 48 49Calculates a hash value for a file. This API uses a promise to return the result. 50 51**System capability**: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.FileIO 52 53**Parameters** 54 55| Name | Type | Mandatory| Description | 56| --------- | ------ | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | 57| path | string | Yes | Path of the file in the application sandbox. | 58| algorithm | string | Yes | Algorithm used to calculate the hash value. The value can be **md5**, **sha1**, or **sha256**. **sha256** is recommended for security purposes.| 59 60**Return value** 61 62 | Type | Description | 63 | --------------------- | -------------------------- | 64 | Promise<string> | Promise used to return the hash value. The hash value is a hexadecimal string consisting of digits and uppercase letters.| 65 66**Error codes** 67 68For details about the error codes, see [Basic File IO Error Codes](../errorcodes/errorcode-filemanagement.md#basic-file-io-error-codes). 69 70| ID| Error Message| 71| -------- | -------- | 72| 13900020 | Invalid argument | 73| 13900042 | Unknown error | 74 75**Example** 76 77 ```js 78 let filePath = pathDir + "/test.txt"; 79 Hash.hash(filePath, "sha256").then((str) => { 80 console.info("calculate file hash succeed:" + str); 81 }).catch((err) => { 82 console.info("calculate file hash failed with error message: " + err.message + ", error code: " + err.code); 83 }); 84 ``` 85 86## Hash.hash 87 88hash(path: string, algorithm: string, callback: AsyncCallback<string>): void 89 90Calculates a hash value for a file. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result. 91 92**System capability**: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.FileIO 93 94**Parameters** 95 96| Name | Type | Mandatory| Description | 97| --------- | --------------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | 98| path | string | Yes | Path of the file in the application sandbox. | 99| algorithm | string | Yes | Algorithm used to calculate the hash value. The value can be **md5**, **sha1**, or **sha256**. **sha256** is recommended for security purposes.| 100| callback | AsyncCallback<string> | Yes | Callback invoked to return the hash value obtained. The hash value is a hexadecimal string consisting of digits and uppercase letters.| 101 102**Error codes** 103 104For details about the error codes, see [Basic File IO Error Codes](../errorcodes/errorcode-filemanagement.md#basic-file-io-error-codes). 105 106| ID| Error Message| 107| -------- | -------- | 108| 13900020 | Invalid argument | 109| 13900042 | Unknown error | 110 111**Example** 112 113 ```js 114 let filePath = pathDir + "/test.txt"; 115 Hash.hash(filePath, "sha256", (err, str) => { 116 if (err) { 117 console.info("calculate file hash failed with error message: " + err.message + ", error code: " + err.code); 118 } else { 119 console.info("calculate file hash succeed:" + str); 120 } 121 }); 122 ``` 123
