Generate a Hash from string in Javascript

I need to convert strings to some form of hash. Is this possible in JavaScript?

I'm not utilizing a server-side language so I can't do it that way.

Solution 

  • String.prototype.hashCode = function() {
  var hash = 0,
    i, chr;
  if (this.length === 0) return hash;
  for (i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
    chr = this.charCodeAt(i);
    hash = ((hash << 5) - hash) + chr;
    hash |= 0; // Convert to 32bit integer
  }
  return hash;
}

const str = 'revenue'
console.log(str, str.hashCode())
