rng-browser.js:7 Uncaught ReferenceError: global is not defined

[henryavila]

Describe the bug

When I try to generate an uuid, I get the error rng-browser.js:7 Uncaught ReferenceError: global is not defined

The code that trigger this error is

//rng-browser.js:7

var crypto = global.crypto || global.msCrypto; // for IE 11 // <<<--- THIS TRIGGER THE ERROR
if (crypto && crypto.getRandomValues) {
  // WHATWG crypto RNG - http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Crypto
  var rnds8 = new Uint8Array(16);
  rng = function whatwgRNG() {
    crypto.getRandomValues(rnds8);
    return rnds8;
  };
}

How to reproduce

• npm install uuid
• import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
• uuidv4(); // ⇨ this will trigger the error

ps: The error happens for uuidv4() and uuidv5() . I didn't tested the others

Expected behavior

The Expected behavior is that it generate the uuid
uuidv4(); // ⇨ '9b1deb4d-3b7d-4bad-9bdd-2b0d7b3dcb6d'

This does not look like uuid. Maybe it's some other package of version?
https://unpkg.com/browse/uuid@8.3.2/dist/esm-browser/rng.js

That's my fault. Sorry.

When I added it in package.json, i wrongley typed:
"uuid": "^3.0" instead of "uuid": "^8.0.

sorry for the mistake.
