Using Crypto API

[idleberg]

Does anybody here have experience on how to run tests that involve the Crypto API? In a React project, I have a function creating a hash from a string.

const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const data = encoder.encode(message);
const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest("SHA-256", data);

However, when I try and test this function using Vitest, I'm running into a type error:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'digest')

I already added the following to my tests:

import crypto from "node:crypto";
globalThis.crypto = crypto;

Without it, it already fails at crypto.

Can anyone please help?

Try

globalThis.crypto = crypto
globalThis.window.crypto = crypto

globalThis.crypto = crypto
globalThis.window.crypto = crypto

Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't change anything

Turns out I need Node 17+ to get the browser-compatible crypto API
