Jquery - Select random JSON Object

Question

I have this jquery code to output the entries in a JSON file on page load...

$.getJSON(\'b.json\', function(data) {
      $(\'#dictionary\').empty().hide();



          


        

Answer 1

Looks like you want a random entry from an array.

try:

var random_entry = entry[Math.floor(Math.random() * entry.length)]

Answer 2

$.getJSON('b.json', function(data) { 
  var entry = data[Math.floor(Math.random()*data.length)];
  //do the same exact thing with entry
}
