Calculate MD5 Hash of File (or SHA1, SHA256, and other hash algorithms)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to calculate a hash for a file's contents. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final crypt = CkCrypt2();

  // Set the name of the hash algorithm.
  // Other choices include "sha1", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", "md2", "md5", and "haval". 
  crypt.hashAlgorithm = 'md5';

  // EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the hash output.
  // It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
  crypt.encodingMode = 'hex';

  // Files of any type may be hashed -- it doesn't matter
  // if the file is binary or text...
  var hashStr = '';
  try {
    hashStr = crypt.hashFileENC('/temp/something.dat');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(hashStr);
