How to use a strong random source on Expo

I’m trying to use ethers.js inside Expo, but whatever I do it keeps telling me:

WARNING: Missing strong random number source; using weak randomBytes

Is there any way to use a strong random source. I know expo has expo-random, but I see no clear way of making ethers.js use that.

thanks, that worked 🎉

for the next person trying to get this to work:

import * as Random from 'expo-random';
import 'ethers/dist/shims.js';
import { ethers } from "ethers";

const createWallet = async () => {
  const randomBytes = await Random.getRandomBytesAsync(16);
  const mnemonic = ethers.utils.HDNode.entropyToMnemonic(randomBytes);
  const wallet = ethers.Wallet.fromMnemonic(mnemonic);
  return wallet;
}

Thanks! I’ll add that in the docs for Expo. 😃
