Javascript: Generate a random number within a range using crypto.getRandomValues

by

IMHO, the easiest way to generate a random number in a [min..max] range with window.crypto.getRandomValues() is described here.

An ECMAScript 2015-syntax code, in case the link is TL;TR:

function getRandomIntInclusive(min, max) {
    const randomBuffer = new Uint32Array(1);

    window.crypto.getRandomValues(randomBuffer);

    let randomNumber = randomBuffer[0] / (0xffffffff + 1);

    min = Math.ceil(min);
    max = Math.floor(max);
    return Math.floor(randomNumber * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}
