Background
----------

[](#background)

Although there are many hashing services out there, I decided to create a basic one for use on some of my projects.

The Unit Tests have been run on PHP 5.4 and 7.2. This is to help support legacy projects.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Usage of the hashing service

```
$ composer require devtoolboxuk/Hashing
```

Then include Composer's generated vendor/autoload.php to enable autoloading:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

```
use devtoolboxuk/Hashing;

$this->hashingService = new HashingService();
```

##### Set Hashing Key

[](#set-hashing-key)

```
$this->hashingService->setHashingKey($key);
```

##### Get Hashing key

[](#get-hashing-key)

```
$this->hashingKey = $this->hashingService->getHashingKey();
```

##### Hashing Data

[](#hashing-data)

Pass in the data to be hashed.

```
$this->hashingService->hash("Test Data");
```

##### Get Hashed Data

[](#get-hashed-data)

Returns the hash of the data.

```
$this->hashingService->getHashedData()
```

By default, the Hashing service uses the SHA256 Algoritm, and the HMAC Hashing Function

##### Retrieve Hashed Data

[](#retrieve-hashed-data)

```
$this->hashingService->setHashingKey($key);
$this->hashingKey = $this->hashingService->getHashingKey();
```

The algorithm for hashing can be changed using this function, currently only the following algorithms are supported; 'sha256', 'sha384', 'sha512', 'md5'

##### Set Algorithm

[](#set-algorithm)

```
$this->hashingService->setHashingKey($key);
$this->hashingKey = $this->hashingService->getHashingKey();
```

The hashing function can also be changed to use either hmac or not (others may come along...)

##### Set Hashing Function

[](#set-hashing-function)

```
$this->hashingService->setHashFunction('hmac');
```
