Installation

API
var getRandomValues = require('get-random-values');
getRandomValues(buf)
Fills integer-based TypedArray buf
with cryptographically random numbers.
Checks for and uses the first of the following:
window.crypto.getRandomValues
window.msCrypto.getRandomValues
- Node.js crypto
If none of the above are available, then an Error is thrown.
Throws QuotaExceededError if buf.length > 65536
(even if Node.js crypto,
which doesn't have that limit, is being used).
buf
must be a Uint8Array if Node.js crypto is used, otherwise a
TypeError will be thrown.
