I am generating reset password token using crypto-js version 4.1.1. But I am getting error when I post my API TypeError: crypto.randomBytes is not a function and everything is correct in my schema . I am using node version v16.16.0. How to overcome of this issue

 // This is my code where I am using rest password 
  import crypto from 'crypto-js';

  userSchema.methods.getResetToken = function () {
      // Generating token
      const resetToken = crypto.randomBytes(20).toString('hex');

      //hashing and adding resetPasswordToken to userSchema
      this.resetPasswordToken = crypto
          .createHash("sha256")
          .update(resetToken)
          .digest("hex");

      this.resetPasswordTime = Date.now()   15 * 60 * 1000;

      return resetToken;
  };

  // This is my code where I am using rest password 
  import crypto from 'crypto-js';
  import { nanoid } from "nanoid";

   userSchema.methods.getResetToken = function () {
      // Generating token
      //use uuid or nanoid 
      const resetToken = nanoid(64)

      //hashing and adding resetPasswordToken to userSchema
      this.resetPasswordToken = 
      crypto.SHA256(resetToken).toString(crypto.enc.Hex);

      this.resetPasswordTime = Date.now()   15 * 60 * 1000;

       return resetToken;
   };

  crypto-js has a completely different but well documented interface 
  compared to node.js crypto library

  // docs crypto-js
  https://cryptojs.gitbook.io/docs/

  // nodejs crypto library docs
  https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html
