0.0.2 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

RIPEMD hash functions (RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, RIPEMD-320) implemented in TypeScript. Current version 0.0.2 is a pre-release and ships TypeScript type definitions. Notable for providing pure TypeScript implementation of the RIPEMD family of cryptographic hash functions. However, the package appears to be using the TypeScript-library-starter boilerplate and may not be production-ready. No release cadence established. Alternative: ripemd160 (npm) for a more mature JavaScript implementation.

Common errors

error import RIPEMD160 from 'ripemd-ts'; // TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined ↓

cause Default import not available; library exports only named exports.

fix

import { RIPEMD160 } from 'ripemd-ts';

error const RIPEMD160 = require('ripemd-ts'); // RIPEMD160 is not a constructor ↓

cause require returns the module object, not the constructor directly.

fix

const { RIPEMD160 } = require('ripemd-ts');

error ReferenceError: RIPEMD160 is not defined (when using wrong import syntax in TS) ↓

cause TypeScript not recognizing named import or using default import erroneously.

fix

Ensure import statement uses named export: import { RIPEMD160 } from 'ripemd-ts';

Warnings

gotcha Package is a pre-release (0.0.2) and may have incomplete or buggy implementations. Not audited for cryptographic correctness. ↓

fix Consider using a more mature library like ripemd160 (npm) for production.

gotcha Default import (import X from 'ripemd-ts') is undefined; must use named import. ↓

fix Use import { RIPEMD160 } from 'ripemd-ts'.

deprecated Naming conventions for hash function exports are not standardized; may change in future releases. ↓

fix Monitor changelog for breaking changes.

gotcha Only ESM module format is available in package; CJS require is not directly supported but works via property access (require('ripemd-ts').RIPEMD160). ↓

fix If using CommonJS, use const { RIPEMD160 } = require('ripemd-ts').

Install

npm install ripemd-ts

yarn add ripemd-ts

pnpm add ripemd-ts

Imports

RIPEMD160

wrong

import RIPEMD160 from 'ripemd-ts'

correct

import { RIPEMD160 } from 'ripemd-ts'

Named export, not default.

RIPEMD128

wrong

const RIPEMD128 = require('ripemd-ts').RIPEMD128

correct

import { RIPEMD128 } from 'ripemd-ts'

ESM only. CJS require works but uses .property.

RIPEMD256

wrong

const RIPEMD256 = require('ripemd-ts')

correct

import { RIPEMD256 } from 'ripemd-ts'

require returns module object; need property access.

RIPEMD320
```
import { RIPEMD320 } from 'ripemd-ts'
```
Named export.

Quickstart

Demonstrates creating hash instances, updating with data, and digesting to hex string. Uses TypeScript with named imports.

import { RIPEMD160, RIPEMD128, RIPEMD256, RIPEMD320 } from 'ripemd-ts';

const message = 'Hello, world!';
const hash160 = new RIPEMD160().update(message).digest('hex');
console.log('RIPEMD-160:', hash160);

const hash128 = new RIPEMD128().update(message).digest('hex');
console.log('RIPEMD-128:', hash128);

const hash256 = new RIPEMD256().update(message).digest('hex');
console.log('RIPEMD-256:', hash256);

const hash320 = new RIPEMD320().update(message).digest('hex');
console.log('RIPEMD-320:', hash320);
