crypto.randomBytes is not a function

Expected behavior

Should be able to import steem library into my vue,js project.

Actual behavior

Getting the following error: [Vue warn]: Error in mounted hook: “TypeError: crypto.randomBytes is not a function” on the following line: var steem = require(‘steem’)

The exception is thrown from the nodeRandom function in secure-random.js. I put a breakpoint in that function and I can see that require(‘crypto’) returns an empty object:

> crypto
<- {}

How to reproduce

I seem to be able to reproduce the problem by just invoking: require(‘steem’)

The reported error is in secure-random.js, in the function nodeRandom.

I have verified that I can invoke the crypto.randomBytes function directly from my application. The following works: console.log(require(‘crypto’).randomBytes(64)) so I’m wondering if the steem library somehow messes up crypto.

Environment information

Using node 8.10 on Ubuntu 18.04 Application uses the Quasar UI framework with vue.js.
