keccak256 hash in javascript

To calculate the keccak256 hash in JavaScript, you can make use of the ethers.js library, which provides a convenient method called keccak256.

First, you need to install the ethers.js library using npm:

npm install ethers
19 chars
2 lines

Once the installation is complete, you can use the library to calculate the keccak256 hash as follows:

index.tsx
const ethers = require('ethers');

const data = 'Hello, World!'; // The data to hash

// Calculate the keccak256 hash
const hash = ethers.utils.keccak256(data);

console.log('Keccak256 Hash:', hash);
200 chars
9 lines

In the code snippet above, we imported the ethers library and used the keccak256 method from ethers.utils to calculate the hash of the provided data. The resulting hash is then printed to the console.

Note: If you are working in a browser environment, you can include the ethers.js library using a <script> tag instead of using npm.

Remember to replace 'Hello, World!' with the actual data you want to hash.

Make sure to import the necessary dependencies and modify the code according to your project structure.

You can find more information about the ethers.js library and its available methods in the official documentation.

Please note that using keccak256 directly in JavaScript without a library like ethers.js can be more complicated.
