create a sha3_256 hash from a string in typescript

To create a sha3_256 hash from a string in typescript, you will need to use a cryptography library such as crypto-js. You can install crypto-js by running the following command:

index.ts
npm install crypto-js
22 chars
2 lines

Once installed, you can create a hash by importing the SHA3 method and passing in the string to be hashed:

index.ts
import { SHA3 } from 'crypto-js';

const myString = 'Hello World';
const myHash = SHA3(myString, { outputLength: 256 }).toString();
console.log(myHash); // prints "b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"
230 chars
6 lines

In the above example, we are using the SHA3 method to create a hash of the myString variable with an output length of 256. The resulting hash is then converted to a string and printed to the console.

Note that the outputLength parameter is optional and defaults to 512 if not provided.
