function hash
Usage in Deno
```typescript import { hash } from "node:node__crypto.d.ts"; ```
hash(): string
A utility for creating one-shot hash digests of data. It can be faster than the object-based `crypto.createHash()` when hashing a smaller amount of data
(<= 5MB) that's readily available. If the data can be big or if it is streamed, it's still recommended to use `crypto.createHash()` instead. The `algorithm`
is dependent on the available algorithms supported by the version of OpenSSL on the platform. Examples are `'sha256'`, `'sha512'`, etc. On recent releases
of OpenSSL, `openssl list -digest-algorithms` will display the available digest algorithms.
Example:
```js
import crypto from 'node:crypto';
import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';
// Hashing a string and return the result as a hex-encoded string.
const string = 'Node.js';
// 10b3493287f831e81a438811a1ffba01f8cec4b7
console.log(crypto.hash('sha1', string));
// Encode a base64-encoded string into a Buffer, hash it and return
// the result as a buffer.
const base64 = 'Tm9kZS5qcw==';
//
console.log(crypto.hash('sha1', Buffer.from(base64, 'base64'), 'buffer'));
```
data: BinaryLike
When `data` is a string, it will be encoded as UTF-8 before being hashed. If a different input encoding is desired for a string input, user
could encode the string into a `TypedArray` using either `TextEncoder` or `Buffer.from()` and passing the encoded `TypedArray` into this API instead.
optional
outputEncoding: BinaryToTextEncoding = 'hex'
[Encoding](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/buffer.html#buffers-and-character-encodings) used to encode the returned digest.
