randomBytes( int )

A module with a better and standard API exists

The new k6/experimental/webcrypto API partially implements the WebCryptoAPI, supporting more features than k6/crypto.

Return an ArrayBuffer object with a number of cryptographically random bytes. It will either return exactly the amount of bytes requested or will throw an exception if something went wrong.

Returns

Example

import crypto from 'k6/crypto';

export default function () {
  const bytes = crypto.randomBytes(42);
  const view = new Uint8Array(bytes);
  console.log(view); // 156,71,245,191,56,...
}
