"SHA256/lib.mo" does not exist

[Amitkma007]

I'm trying to import this package in my program. i want to make a function which takes a Text message in argument and returns the SHA256 hash of that message. but i'm not able to build the program . here is my code snipet.

import Array "mo:base/Array";
import Prim "mo:prim";
import Sha256 "./SHA256";
actor {

 public func getHash(text : Text) : async [Word8] {
   
 var a: [Word8] = [];
    for (c in text.chars()) {
        let word: Word8 = Prim.natToWord8(Prim.word32ToNat(Prim.charToWord32(c)));
        a := Array.append(a, [word]);
    };

    return Sha256.sha256(a);
};

};

I Got this Error :
import error [M0009], file "/home/sudesh/Dfinity/check_arg/src/check_arg/SHA256/lib.mo" does not exist

Please let me know if i need to do anything else.

Can you try
import Sha256 "mo:sha256/SHA256"

It should be part of the standard packages now.

[troublesprouter]

import Sha256 “mo:sha256/SHA256”;
is giving me

package "sha256" not defined Motoko

Any idea how to fix it?

Do I need to npm install something or change a configuration file other than simply importing?

Please don't use this package anymore. It is outdated. The standard package for sha256 which is also maintained for latest dependencies is this one: https://mops.one/sha2
