[ai]

What error did you have? Maybe we can fix IE 10 support.

cannot get the undefined or null property "getRandomValues" in file: random-browser.js

I'm actually getting the same error in Edge 17 in Service Worker. Running code manually in console works though. Looking into it now.

[ai]

I will try to look on next week.

Maybe it is a problem with self

[ai]

@NekR if you want you can try to find a solution. I will not be able to look on it in this weekend (having a flight).

@ai so the issues seems to be very simple -- Edge still doesn't support crypto in workers, including ServiceWorker https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/7607496/

And IE10 doesn't have crypto implemented at all (first implementation as msCrypto is in IE11).

Hence the errors.

[ai]

Hm. You can you nanoid/format and combine it with some non-secure random generator.

I will update a docs for this case.

Hi @ai ... just double checking that this means Nano ID doesn't work on Edge and if we need to support it we need to replace the default random generator?

[ai]

@zentuit Nano ID works in Edge. It doesn’t work in Web Workers in Edge.

In Web Workers you need to use nanoid/generate with some pseudo-random generator (here is docs, the generator can be found on the Internet). Note, that pseudo-random generator is not secure (do not generate secure tokens by it).

After a conference, I am planning to improve docs for Edge’s Web Workers.

[zentuit]

@ai -- Ah gotcha, its just Web Workers in Edge. I misread. Thanks for clarifying!

[ai]

The non-secure random generator was added to support IE 10 and Edge’s Web Workers aa39d81

We even added a special warning in index.js dc7a74e
