Array buffer allocation failure about js-md5 HOT 4 CLOSED

It's ArrayBuffer behavior. Depends on your system. see: https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-createbytedatablock

If it is impossible to create such a Data Block, throw a RangeError exception.

You have to read by steaming if the file is too large.

from js-md5.

Is that an option, to pass in a readable stream? I did not see that in the docs. Something like:

let hash = md5(rSteam);

from js-md5.

something like this

var hash = md5.create();
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('./large-file');
readStream.on('data', function (chunk) {
  hash.update(chunk);
}).on('end', function () {
  console.log(hash.hex());
});

from js-md5.

Okay, I was trying to avoid write the stream out to disk but I think I have a way to do it with http.request() stream. Thanks!
