Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@lukeed/csprng CI codecov

A tiny (~90B) isomorphic wrapper for crypto.randomBytes in Node.js and browsers.

Why?

This package allows you/dependents to import a cryptographically secure generator (CSPRNG) without worrying about (aka, checking the runtime environment for) the different crypto implementations. Instead, by extracting a random function into a third-party/external package, one can rely on bundlers and/or module resolution to load the correct implementation for the desired environment.

In other words, one can include the browser-specific implementation when bundling for the browser, completely ignoring the Node.js code – or vice versa.

By default, this module is set up to work with Rollup, webpack, and Node's native ESM and CommonJS path resolutions.

Install

$ npm install --save @lukeed/csprng

Usage

General Usage

// Rely on bundlers/environment detection
import { random } from '@lukeed/csprng';

const array = random(12);
// browser => Uint8Array(12) [...]
// Node.js => <Buffer ...>

Specific Environment

// Choose the "browser" implementation explicitly.
//=> ! NOTE ! Will break in Node.js environments!
import { random } from '@lukeed/csprng/browser';

const array = random(1024);
//=> Uint8Array(1024) [...]

// ---

// Choose the "node" implementation explicitly.
//=> ! NOTE ! Will break in browser environments!
import { random } from '@lukeed/csprng/node';

const array = random(1024);
//=> <Buffer ...>

API

random(length)

Returns: Buffer or Uint8Array

Returns a typed array of given length.

length
