Importing the webcrypto
object (import { webcrypto } from 'node:crypto'
) gives an instance of the Crypto
class. Crypto
is a singleton that provides access to the remainder of the crypto API.

Generates cryptographically strong random values. The given
typedArray
is filled with random values, and a reference totypedArray
is returned.The given
typedArray
must be an integer-based instance of NodeJS.TypedArray, i.e.Float32Array
andFloat64Array
are not accepted.An error will be thrown if the given
typedArray
is larger than 65,536 bytes. Generates a random RFC 4122 version 4 UUID. The UUID is generated using a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator.
