Convert PHP hash_hmac (sha512) to NodeJS

Question

I am migrating a php script to node and I know little about encryption.

The php script uses this function:

hash_hmac('sha512', text, key);

So, I need to implement a function in Node js to return a hash key using the hmac method (SHA512).

From what I see, Node has this functionality built in through the crypto module ( http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto ) - But I'm not clear how to reproduce this function.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank,

Yes, use the cryptographic library.

var hash = crypto.createHmac('sha512', key);
hash.update(text);
var hashed_data = hash.digest();

(, hash.digest) , .

, , (.. hash crypto.createHmac.)
