const number = 255;
const hexString = toHex(number);
const numberFromHex = fromHex(hexString);
console.log(hexString); // '0xff'
console.log(numberFromHex); // 255
Random Bytes Generation
This feature allows you to generate random bytes, which can be used for creating secure keys or nonces.
const { generateRandomBytes } = require('@walletconnect/utils');
const randomBytes = generateRandomBytes(16);
console.log(randomBytes); // Random 16 bytes
