BLAKE2b PHP Library
===================

[](#blake2b-php-library)

### Description

[](#description)

PHP library for parts of [the official BLAKE2b implementation](https://github.com/BLAKE2/BLAKE2).

### Installing

[](#installing)

Run the following command from the root of your project to install this library and configure your project to use it.

```
composer require nicolasflamel/blake2b

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

After a `Blake2b` object has been created, it can be used to compute the BLAKE2b hash of a string with an optional key and size.

The following code briefly shows how to use this library. A more complete example is available [here](https://github.com/NicolasFlamel1/BLAKE2b-PHP-Library/tree/master/example).

```

```

### Functions

[](#functions)

1. BLAKE2b constructor: `constructor(): Blake2b`

    This constructor is used to create a `Blake2b` object and it returns the following value:

    - `Blake2b`: An `Blake2b` object.
2. BLAKE2b compute method: `compute(string $input, ?string $key = NULL, int $resultSize = 32): string | FALSE`

    This method is used to compute the BLAKE2b hash for provided input and it accepts the following parameters:

    - `string $input`: The input to hash.
    - `?string $key` (optional): The key to use when computing the hash. If `NULL` then no key will be used.
    - `int $resultSize` (optional): The desired size of the hash.

    This method returns the following values:

    - `string`: The BLAKE2b hash for the provided input using the key if provided and at the specified size.
    - `FALSE`: Computing the hash failed.
