ReactJS app not responsive when using randomstring.generate()

[bingchuan93]

Hihi!

I am using your package in my ReactJS project and I realised when randomstring.generate() is called, somehow the site just hangs and becomes unresponsive. Importing the package had no issues, only when running it. Any idea why?

It can be replicated by creating a new react app, installing randomstring dependency and calling randomstring.generate() anywhere.

I ran into the same issue after upgrading from webpack 4 to 5.

I fixed it by adding

new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
    Buffer: ["buffer", "Buffer"],
})

to our webpack.config.js
