Object Hash Generator

Create a utility that generates consistent hash values from JavaScript objects for caching purposes.

Requirements

Build a function generateObjectHash(obj) that:

1. Takes any JavaScript object as input
2. Returns a consistent string representation that can be used for hashing
3. Ensures that two objects with the same properties (regardless of insertion order) produce identical string representations
4. Works correctly with nested objects

The generated string should be deterministic - objects with identical content must always produce the same output, even if their properties were defined in different orders.

Implementation

API

/**
 * Generates a deterministic string representation of an object for hashing.
 * @param {Object} obj - The object to generate a hash string for
 * @returns {string} A deterministic string representation
 */
function generateObjectHash(obj) {}

module.exports = { generateObjectHash };

Test Cases

• Given object {name: "Alice", age: 30} and object {age: 30, name: "Alice"}, both produce identical output @test
• Given nested object {user: {id: 1, name: "Bob"}} and {user: {name: "Bob", id: 1}}, both produce identical output @test
• Given object {z: 3, a: 1, m: 2}, the output maintains alphabetical key order @test
