How to get a random item from Laravel Collection?

You can get a random item from laravel collection by creating a collection using collect method and calling the random method on it. It will display a random value from the collection. You can also pass the argument to a random method which will return the specified number of values from the collection.

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
$random = $collection->random();

In Laravel, collections provide a convenient way to work with arrays of data, offering various methods for manipulation and iteration. The random method is one of them which is used to retrieve a random item from the collection. In this case, it will randomly select one element from the array [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and assign it to the variable $random.

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
$random = $collection->random(2);
// $random is now a collection containing 2 random elements from the original collection

In the above code, the random method has an argument of 2. In this case, it will randomly select two elements from the array [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and return them as a new collection.
