how get random row laravel-5

Question

In L-4 it was simple:

$random_quote = Quotation::all()->random(1);

But now in L-5 not a single method described in this post is working: Lar

Answer 1

These works but probably you didn't use the right namespace, just use the use statement at the top of your class name like this:

Then you may use in your method something like this:

// You may add: use DB; at the top to use DB instead of \DB
$random_quote = Quotation::orderBy(\DB::raw('RAND()'))->first();

Or this:

$random_quote = Quotation::orderByRaw("RAND()")->first();

Update (Since Laravel - 5.2):

$random_quote = Quotation::inRandomOrder()->first();
