 ### Usage
 
+ES6 import for typical API call signing use case:
+
+```javascript

+import hmacSHA512 from 'crypto-js/hmac-sha512';
+import Base64 from 'crypto-js/enc-base64';
+
+const message, nonce, path, privateKey; // ...
+const hashDigest = sha256(nonce + message);
+const hmacDigest = Base64.stringify(hmacSHA512(path + hashDigest, privateKey));
+```
