get md5 file checksum from image in javascript

To calculate the MD5 checksum of a file in JavaScript, you can use the spark-md5 library. Here's an example code snippet that shows how to calculate the checksum of an image file:

index.tsx
// Load the spark-md5 library
import SparkMD5 from 'spark-md5';

// Load the image file
const fileInput = document.createElement('input');
fileInput.type = 'file';
fileInput.onchange = () => {
  const file = fileInput.files[0];
  
  // Create a FileReader object to read the contents of the file
  const reader = new FileReader();
  reader.onload = () => {
    // Calculate the MD5 checksum of the file
    const spark = new SparkMD5.ArrayBuffer();
    spark.append(reader.result);
    const checksum = spark.end();
    console.log(`MD5 checksum of ${file.name}: ${checksum}`);
  };
  reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
};
fileInput.click();

This code creates an input element that allows the user to select an image file. When the file is selected, the contents of the file are read using a FileReader object, and the MD5 checksum is calculated using the spark-md5 library. The checksum is then logged to the console.
