What is randomfill?

The randomfill npm package is a utility that provides methods to fill a buffer with random bytes. This package is particularly useful when you need to generate random data for cryptographic purposes, such as creating keys, salts, or nonces in security-related applications.

What are randomfill's main functionalities?

Filling a buffer with random bytes

This feature allows you to fill a pre-allocated buffer with random bytes. The function takes a buffer and a callback function as arguments. The callback function is called with any error and the filled buffer.

const randomFill = require('randomfill');
const buffer = Buffer.alloc(10); // create a buffer of 10 bytes
randomFill.randomFill(buffer, function(err, buf) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(buf); // Outputs the buffer filled with random bytes
});
