Get a random item from this WireArray.
- If one item is requested (default), the item is returned (unless
$alwaysArrayargument is true). - If multiple items are requested, a new
WireArrayof those items is returned. - We recommend using this method when you just need 1 random item, and using the
WireArray::findRandom()method when you need multiple random items.
Example
// Get a single random item
$randomItem = $items->getRandom();
// Get 3 random items
$randomItems = $items->getRandom(3); Usage
// basic usage
$items = $wireArray->getRandom();
// usage with all arguments
$items = $wireArray->getRandom(int $num = 1, bool $alwaysArray = false);Arguments
