Methods

getRandomValues<T extends Exclude<TypedArray, Float32Array | Float64Array>>(typedArray: T): T

Generates cryptographically strong random values. The given typedArray is filled with random values, and a reference to typedArray is returned.

The given typedArray must be an integer-based instance of NodeJS.TypedArray, i.e. Float32Array and Float64Array are not accepted.

An error will be thrown if the given typedArray is larger than 65,536 bytes.

Generates a random RFC 4122 version 4 UUID. The UUID is generated using a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator.
