RandomBytes
Overview
RandomBytes returns n cryptographically secure random bytes (crypto.randomBytes).
If you are coming from Node.js, the closest pattern is crypto.randomBytes(n).
Signature
go
func RandomBytes(n int) ([]byte, error)Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox
js
crypto.randomBytes(n)go
b := make([]byte, n)
_, err := rand.Read(b)go

crypto.RandomBytes(n)Example
go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/crypto"
crypto.RandomBytes(n)Tips
Import github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/crypto and call RandomBytes directly. See the comparison below for the standard library equivalent.
Standard library alternative
Use the standard library directly:
go
b := make([]byte, n)
_, err := rand.Read(b)
