There's a few things you can do. You could subtract 1 from each digit and parse it as an octal number, which will map one-to-one every number from your domain to the range [0,16777216) with no gaps. The resulting number can be used as an index into a very large array. An example of this could work as below:
function hash(num) {
return parseInt(num
.toString()
.split('')
.map(x => x - 1), 8);
}
const set = new Array(8**8);
set[hash(12345678)] = true;
// 12345678 is in the set
Or if you wanna conserve some space and grow the data structure as you add elements. You can use a tree structure with 8 branches at every node and a maximum depth of 8. I'll leave that up to you to figure out if you think it's worth the trouble.
Edit:
After seeing the updated question, I began thinking about how you could probably map the number to its position in a lexicographically sorted list of the permutations of the digits 1-8. That would be optimal because it gives you the theoretical 5-digit hash you want (under 40320). I had some trouble formulating the algorithm to do this on my own, so I did some digging. I found this example implementation that does just what you're looking for. I've taken inspiration from this to implement the algorithm in JavaScript for you.
function hash(num) {
const digits = num
.toString()
.split('')
.map(x => x - 1);
const len = digits.length;
const seen = new Array(len);
let rank = 0;
for(let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
seen[digits[i]] = true;
rank += numsBelowUnseen(digits[i], seen) * fact(len - i - 1);
}
return rank;
}
// count unseen digits less than n
function numsBelowUnseen(n, seen) {
let count = 0;
for(let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if(!seen[i]) count++;
}
return count;
}
// factorial fuction
function fact(x) {
return x <= 0 ? 1 : x * fact(x - 1);
}
