Missing Type

[Former user]

Many Files depend on :crypto.hash_algorithms. This type does not exist.

See: https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/lib/crypto/src/crypto.erl 3

This is odd, I was referring to the hash_algorithms type described here: http://erlang.org/doc/man/crypto.html Seems like it’s only defined in the docs … https://github.com/erlang/otp/search?q=hash_algorithms

Do you know if this is common for Erlang to define types only in the docs?

[Former user]

I agree that it is odd, but the code really doesn't contain the type. I have never seen any place where the doc mentions types that do not exist.

Could you just put atom instead? It would be nice to get dialyzer to work. I know that this is way less specific but at least it works.

@pentacent Are you still actively working on this project? Otherwise I'll have to fork.

Interestingly, hash_algorithms has now vanished from the Erlang docs. I’ve added a new type now to reflect this: Belt.Hasher.hash_algorithm.
