ethers randomBytes() function and MaxUint256 constant equivalent

[Melancholism]

What is the ethers randomBytes() function equivalent in viem?

I also need to access the MaxUint256 constant like ethers here in viem. But the only constant that I can access in viem is the zeroAddress. Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks in advance.

You can use native crypto.getRandomValues with a Uint8Array!

Can look into exporting constants like that. As for now, might be worth just manually adding them yourself.

Thanks for answering @jxom.
Another function of crypto is randomBytes(). Can I use it instead of getRandomValues()?
I have to mention that I need a random hex value. Below is what I am doing right now in my code:

import { randomBytes } from 'crypto';

const randomHexValue = `0x${randomBytes(32).toString('hex')}`

And about the constants. I would really appreciate it if you could work on it and include them in viem like what ethers is doing. Also here is another discussion that asked for the same feature. Anyway, I will manually add them for now and wait for future releases. Thanks a lot.

In the context of viem, bytes are represented as a Uint8Array, so getRandomValues() would probably fit a bit better. You can do something like:

import { bytesToHex } from 'viem'

const randomBytes = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32))
const randomHexValue = bytesToHex(randomBytes)

And about the constants. I would really appreciate it if you could work on it and include them in viem like what ethers is doing.

i've added all missing ethers-v5 and -v6 constants in this PR: #1475
