const bytes = randomBytes(16);
console.log(bytes);

Other packages similar to @walletconnect/randombytes

randombytes

The 'randombytes' package is a simple utility for generating random bytes. It is similar in functionality to @walletconnect/randombytes but is more established and widely used in the Node.js ecosystem.

crypto-random-string

The 'crypto-random-string' package generates random strings of specified lengths using cryptographic randomness. While it focuses on strings rather than raw bytes, it serves a similar purpose in generating random data.

README

iso-random

Isomorphic Library for Random Bytes

Description

This library supports random byte generation through native NodeJS and Browser APIs when available and fallbacks to vanilla javascript are already provided.

Usage

RandomBytes

import * as isoRandom from 'iso-random';

const length = 32;
const key = isoRandom.randomBytes(length);

// key.length === length

React-Native Support

This library is intended for use in a Browser or NodeJS environment, however it is possible to use in a React-Native environment if NodeJS modules are polyfilled with react-native-crypto, read more here.
