Dart MD5 From String

Question

How to generate md5 hash from string?

import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart' as crypto; ///Generate MD5 hash generateMd5(String data) {   var content = UTF8.encode(data);   var md5 = crypto.md5; } 

I have no idea what next to do

Answer 1

A more efficient approach would be the following:

import 'dart:convert'; import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart';  String generateMd5(String input) {   return md5.convert(utf8.encode(input)).toString(); } 

This avoids loading the unnecessary convert package and uses the already existing Utf8Codec, instead of instantiating a Utf8Encoder object each time the function is called.

Answer 2

Found an answer:

import 'dart:convert'; import 'package:convert/convert.dart'; import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart' as crypto;  ///Generate MD5 hash generateMd5(String data) {   var content = new Utf8Encoder().convert(data);   var md5 = crypto.md5;   var digest = md5.convert(content);   return hex.encode(digest.bytes); }
