import {randomValues, randomValuesOnly} from '@aws-crypto/crypto-random-source-browser'
const seedData2 = await randomValues(16);
const seedData1 = await randomValuesOnly(16);

If you need to have access to both, you should use randomValues
. But if
you want to use some cryptographic fallback like MSRCrypto randomValuesOnly
