I’m just curious as to why you don’t just use a JavaScript column for this?

Thanks Darren for replying!

I tried to use that but the **crypto.js** library is supported and did it like this!

Check the below:

> The [JavaScript column](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/hell-yes-code) already includes [lodash](https://lodash.com/), which provides a value named \_ with many useful utility functions. lodash is the most popular JavaScript library in the world, so we included it by default even if you do not use it. @Jeff_Hager recently [requested](https://github.com/glideapps/glide-code-columns/issues/82) mathjs support in the JavaScript column. mathjs is another top JavaScript library, but including it by default means that every app that uses the JavaScript column would load this library as well, even though very few people need it.

I checked that too but didn’t found the package for crypto.js. The progress bar doesn’t fully finish!

Maybe because your function doesn’t actually return anything? 😉

You need a `return` statement.  
So instead of `console.log(hashHex)`, you should have `return hashHex`

I don’t know.  
If you want to move your repo to GitHub, and then give me the repo link, I can clone it and have a play with it. I might be able to get it working 🤷‍♂️

Darren, I moved to github but still gets the same issue!

URL I used in the experimental code column : `https://pereradilon9.github.io/HMAC-SHA1-converter/`

Am I correct with github?

I opened the URL in a browser and I’m getting the result I need when I checked the console! I guess something wrong with my JS code?
