Use crypto server side in nuxt3 (3.8) with node 18

Hi, how can I use crypto server side in nuxt3 (3.8) with node 18 ? There is a recommendation for a server side plugin, but this isn't working:

# plugins/crypto.server.ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
    if (process.server) {
        const crypto = require('crypto');
        global.crypto = crypto;
    }
})

# plugins/crypto.server.ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
    if (process.server) {
        const crypto = require('crypto');
        global.crypto = crypto;
    }
})

Using this I get a 500 error Cannot assign to read only property 'crypto' of object '#<Object>' The recommendation came from https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/discussions/19290

Hi @mpgalaxy. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you might find the Nuxt documentation on plugins helpful for understanding how to properly configure server-side plugins in Nuxt 3. Additionally, you may want to explore the Nuxt server framework documentation for more insights on server-side operations. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
