import { crypto } from 'k6/experimental/webcrypto';

export default async function () {
  const digest = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', stringToArrayBuffer('Hello, world!'));

  console.log(arrayBufferToHex(digest));
}

function arrayBufferToHex(buffer) {
  return [...new Uint8Array(buffer)].map((x) => x.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
}

function stringToArrayBuffer(s) {
  return Uint8Array.from(new String(s), (x) => x.charCodeAt(0));
