# crypto-randomuuid

This is a polyfill for the `crypto.randomUUID` method in Node.js. It will use

the built-in version, if present. There are plenty of other uuid modules, but

this one aims to be as functionally identical as possible to the Node.js core

function.

This uses a pure JavaScript replacement of the `secureBuffer` function using

`randomFillSync` rather than the native version using `OPENSSL_secure_malloc`

in Node.js core. This may have security implications, so I'd recommend against

using this anywhere that cryptographically secure uuids are important.

## Install

```sh

npm install crypto-randomuuid

```
