JS-only implementation of randomBytes, intended for use with React Native and other limited runtimes
npm install randombytes-pureThis is a fork of react-native-randombytes, and is a superset of its exposed randomBytes API.
You probably want to use that library if you're comfortable/capable of usingreact-native link. If, however, you're using the
Expo "Managed Workflow" or otherwise don't want to mess around with native dependencies, then this library is
the one for you.
This library uses the SJCL pseudo-random generator. That library is small, fast, and memory-efficient.
``js
import randomBytes from "randombytes-pure";
const rand = randomBytes(4);
`
That is it. Now rand is a Buffer with 4 pseudo-random bytes. Enjoy.
`bash`
yarn add randombytes-pure
If you want to use this module anywhere you might otherwise use react-native-randombytes, _AND_ you are using yarn or some other build tool that supports "resolutions" in package.json, then just add this to your package.json:
`json``
"resolutions": {
"react-native-randombytes": "randombytes-pure"
}
This library follows semver using Semantic Release and Conventional Commits.
