1. Can you give me some proofs that React Native support global.crypto right now
2. Do we need to change docs? https://github.com/ai/nanoid?tab=readme-ov-file#react-native

I use only this:

import { install } from "react-native-quick-crypto";
install();

The same fix works for both NanoId versions (3/5).

Here is my package.json:

"type": "module",
  "types": "./dist/src/index.d.ts",
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "types": "./dist/src/index.d.ts",
      "import": "./dist/src/index.js",
      "browser": "./dist/src/index.js",
      "react-native": "./dist/src/index.js"
    },
    "./evolu": {
      "import": "./dist/src/Evolu/Internal.js"
    }
  },
  "typesVersions": {
    "*": {
      "evolu": [
        "./dist/src/Evolu/Internal.d.ts"
      ]
    }
  },

Btw, I think it should be mentioned that it's recommended to use nanoid 3 in monorepos with hoisting enabled because many packages are still using nanoid 3 (which is not dead; that should also be mentioned). Anyway, thank you for your work.

Honestly, this PR looks like quick fix which will break workflow of many users because the changes was not careful considered and planned.

Can you explain me what happened and how did we find exactly this solution (and not another one). How migration from current Nano ID 5.x will looks like?

import { install } from "react-native-quick-crypto";
install()

Is the code will fail without it?

Why we are not mentioning it in the docs?

Why it is better than previous polyfill?

We can release the be version of 3.x with the new polyfill

All I know is that it allows me to use NanoId in Expo/RN without hacks. I will provide more details when I release the new https://github.com/evoluhq/evolu
