Polyfill Libsodium
==================

[](#polyfill-libsodium)

A simple Polyfill for giving libsodium compatibility when having sodium installed.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/fc77198693e1cea7acd171503b246d467fd0ac380c037c49a27b653bba3257bd/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d6f6c6c69652f706f6c7966696c6c2d6c6962736f6469756d2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/mollie/polyfill-libsodium)

The new sodium extension has been accepted and will be distributed with PHP >= 7.2.
This will have a few breaking changes:

- No more `\Sodium\` namespace. Everything must be in the global namespace.
- The extension will be renamed to `sodium`.
- `\Sodium\randombytes_buf()` and `\Sodium\randombytes_random16()` have been removed.

So the current namespaced functions will not work anymore. So we created a polyfill for this.
