Could not resolve "crypto"

error when build nanoid:

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "crypto"

    node_modules/nanoid/index.js:1:19:
      1 │ import crypto from 'crypto'
        ╵                    ~~~~~~~~

Crypto is a node builtin not available in browser or react-native. Did you try the esm resover plugin mentioned in the docs?

Yes, I've added esmCustomMainFieldResolverPlugin

Yeah that's weird, it's quite possible I need to add some extra things to that plugin, but when i try the same code with metro I get the same error ReferenceError: Can't find variable: crypto.

Which version of nanoid are you on? What exact code are you running?

I googled and i found that adding and importing react-native-get-random-values solved my issues on both metro and esbuild as per documentation: https://github.com/ai/nanoid#react-native

I checked a package.json and seem nanoid has a specific resolving configuration for react-native

I know, that is supported: https://github.com/oblador/react-native-esbuild/blob/master/src/esbuild-config.js#L35

Try adding the polyfill and bumping to latest version

I googled and i found that adding and importing react-native-get-random-values solved my issues on both metro and esbuild as per documentation: https://github.com/ai/nanoid#react-native

I checked, our index.js and yes, we added react-native-get-random-values

I think I’ll need a minimal reproduction of this error. Small project that works with metro but fails with esbuild. All works fine for me

Closing due to lack of replies

@oblador Currently facing similar issue on a new react-native init project the above image is the error i got

react-native.config.js file

const { createEsbuildCommands, esmCustomMainFieldResolverPlugin, } = require('react-native-esbuild');
const commands = createEsbuildCommands(({ plugins, ...rest }) => ({
  ...rest,
  plugins: plugins.concat(esmCustomMainFieldResolverPlugin()),
}));

module.exports = {
  project: {
    ios: {},
    android: {},
  },
  assets: ["./src/assets/fonts/"],
  commands,
};
