Hash string with SHA512 in Swift

Question

Anyone knows how to reproduce PHP hashing method hash(‘SHA512’, $value, true) in swift ? I tried to use CommonCrypto C library with this code :

extension String

With CryptoKit added in iOS13, we now have native Swift API:

import Foundation
import CryptoKit

// CryptoKit.Digest utils
extension Digest {
    var bytes: [UInt8] { Array(makeIterator()) }
    var data: Data { Data(bytes) }

    var hexStr: String {
        bytes.map { String(format: "%02X", $0) }.joined()
    }
}

func example() {
    guard let data = "hello world".data(using: .utf8) else { return }
    let digest = SHA512.hash(data: data)
    print(digest.data) // 64 bytes
    print(digest.hexStr) // 309ECC489C12D6EB4CC40F50C902F2B4D0ED77EE511A7C7A9BCD3CA86D4CD86F989DD35BC5FF499670DA34255B45B0CFD830E81F605DCF7DC5542E93AE9CD76F
}
