mymonero-core-js: Failed to minify the code (during npm run build -- in a Electron/React app)

We have an Electron app that is boot-strapped using create-react-app.

After referencing this module, the app will not compile anymore:

Failed to compile.

Failed to minify the code from this file: 

 	./node_modules/mymonero-core-js/monero_utils/monero_wallet_utils.js:41

From react’s documentation:

You may occasionally find a package you depend on needs compiled or ships code for a non-browser environment.
This is considered poor practice in the ecosystem and does not have an escape hatch in Create React App.

To resolve this:

Open an issue on the dependency's issue tracker and ask that the package be published pre-compiled (retaining ES6 Modules).

Is this something that you guys could help us out with?

For the moment, if you want to, you can get rid of that exception by removing the override of Math.random from cryptonote_utils/cryptonote_utils.js. The reason it’s in there is to prevent emscripten from using Math.random as a source of entropy in case it’s being run in an environment that doesn’t have window.crypto/crypto nor require('crypto'). But it’s not really a solution imo.
