hashpool
hashpool is a fixed-size pool of reusable hashes.
Examples
Generating six-digit hex hashes:
const pool = ; pool; // 5a73f0pool; // 98de2cpool; // 4718ef
Returning hashes to the pool:
const pool = ; let hash = pool;pool; // true pool;pool; // false
Generating custom hashes:
const pool = ; pool // 0110pool // 0010pool // 1011
API
hashpool(options)
Makes a new hashpool. options.bits
will change the number of bits the hashes. More bits, bigger pool. options.base
will change the radix of the hashes, between 2 and 36. Bigger base, fewer digits with more characters. The defaults are { bits: 24, base: 16 }
which generate six-digit hexadecimal hashes.
hashpool#take()
Take a hash from the pool. Will throw if the pool is empty.
hashpool#taken(hash)
Returns true if the hash was taken from the pool.
hashpool#free(value)
Put a hash back in the pool, where it can be reused.
Testing
hashpool uses tape for testing. Simply run npm test
in the project directory.
