[crypto.random]

crypto.random is a slot in the crypto namespace, in Hyperlambda, the language of Magic Cloud. Returns a cryptographically secure random string or random bytes.

• Returns: Resolves to a random string, or random bytes when [raw] is true

Arguments

Required arguments come first, then the optional ones in the order they are declared.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
[min]	int	no	Minimum random length. Default: 10.
[max]	int	no	Maximum random length.
[raw]	bool	no	Whether to return raw bytes instead of encoded text. Default: false.
[seed]	string	no	Optional deterministic seed.
