Properties

`Readonly`subtle

subtle: SubtleCrypto

The Crypto.subtle read-only property returns a cryptographic operations. Available only in secure contexts.

Methods

getRandomValues

getRandomValues<T extends ArrayBufferView<ArrayBufferLike>>(array: T): T
The Crypto.getRandomValues() method lets you get cryptographically strong random values.

Type Parameters
- T extends ArrayBufferView<ArrayBufferLike>
Parameters
- array: T
Returns T

randomUUID

randomUUID(): `${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}`
The randomUUID() method of the Crypto interface is used to generate a v4 UUID using a cryptographically secure random number generator. Available only in secure contexts.

MDN Reference

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