HashingContext
Inherits RefCounted
Provides functionality for computing cryptographic hashes chunk by chunk.
Description
The HashingContext class provides an interface for computing cryptographic hashes over multiple iterations. Useful for computing hashes of big files (so you don't have to load them all in memory), network streams, and data streams in general (so you don't have to hold buffers). The HashType enum shows the supported hashing algorithms.

ctx.start(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256)
# Open the file to hash.
var file = FileAccess.open(path, FileAccess.READ)
# Update the context after reading each chunk.
while file.get_position() < file.get_length():
var remaining = file.get_length() - file.get_position()
ctx.update(file.get_buffer(min(remaining, CHUNK_SIZE)))
# Get the computed hash.

# Print the result as hex string and array.

Methods
PackedByteArray finish()
PackedByteArray finish()Closes the current context, and return the computed hash.
int start(int type)
int start(int type)Starts a new hash computation of the given type (e.g. HASH_SHA256 to start computation of an SHA-256).
int update(PackedByteArray chunk)
int update(PackedByteArray chunk)Updates the computation with the given chunk of data.
Constants
