SecureRandom is an elixir module loosely based on Ruby's SecureRandom.I needed urlsafe, random, base64 strings and UUID generation, so I ported overwhat I needed :).

This gets its random from Erlang'sstrong_rand_bytes/1 and is strongly basedfrom thisgist. I had to remove somethings that didn't make it to Elixir 1.0, and cut the stuff that I do notcurrently have use for.

Will accept PR's to flesh out further.

Add this to your mix.exs:

defpdepsdo[{:secure_random,"~> 0.5"}]end

Fetch this motherlover:

mix deps.get

UUID:

SecureRandom.uuid# => "e8bc6fde-3c11-cc2e-903b-745221154d8a"
