RandomBytes-Pure

Motivation

This 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 using react-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.

Implementation Overview

This library uses the SJCL pseudo-random generator. That library is small, fast, and memory-efficient.

Usage

import randomBytes from "randombytes-pure";

const rand = randomBytes(4);

That is it. Now rand is a Buffer with 4 pseudo-random bytes. Enjoy.

Installation

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:

"resolutions": {
	"react-native-randombytes": "randombytes-pure"
}

Versioning

This library follows semver using Semantic Release and Conventional Commits.
