      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.

  Type Parameters

  Parameters

  • typedArray: T

  Returns T

randomUUID

• randomUUID(): `${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}`

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

  Returns `${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}`
