# `random()`
|
|
|
|
The random method returns a random item from the collection:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
|
|
|
|
collection.random();
|
|
|
|
// 4 (retrieved randomly)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may optionally pass an integer to random to specify how many items you would like to randomly retrieve. A collection of items is always returned when explicitly passing the number of items you wish to receive:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const threeRandom = collection.random(3);
|
|
|
|
// Collection { items: [ 5, 3, 4 ] } (retrieved randomly)
|
|
|
|
const oneRandom = collection.random(1);
|
|
|
|
// Collection { items: [ 3 ] } (retrieved randomly)
|
|
|
|
oneRandom.all();
|
|
|
|
// [3]
|
|
```
