# CRC32 Stream
crc32-stream is a streaming CRC32 checksumer. It uses the [crc](https://www.npmjs.org/package/crc) module behind the scenes to reliably handle binary data and fancy character sets. Data is passed through untouched.
### Install
```bash
npm install crc32-stream --save
```
You can also use `npm install https://github.com/archiverjs/node-crc32-stream/archive/master.tar.gz` to test upcoming versions.
### Usage
#### CRC32Stream
Inherits [Transform Stream](http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_transform) options and methods.
```js
const {CRC32Stream} = require('crc32-stream');
const source = fs.createReadStream('file.txt');
const checksum = new CRC32Stream();
checksum.on('end', function(err) {
// do something with checksum.digest() here
});
// either pipe it
source.pipe(checksum);
// or write it
checksum.write('string');
checksum.end();
```
#### DeflateCRC32Stream
Inherits [zlib.DeflateRaw](http://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_class_zlib_deflateraw) options and methods.
```js
const {DeflateCRC32Stream} = require('crc32-stream');
const source = fs.createReadStream('file.txt');
const checksum = new DeflateCRC32Stream();
checksum.on('end', function(err) {
// do something with checksum.digest() here
});
// either pipe it
source.pipe(checksum);
// or write it
checksum.write('string');
checksum.end();
```
### Instance API
#### digest()
Returns the checksum digest in unsigned form.
#### hex()
Returns the hexadecimal representation of the checksum digest. (ie E81722F0)
#### size(compressed)
Returns the raw size/length of passed-through data.
If `compressed` is `true`, it returns compressed length instead. (DeflateCRC32Stream)
