Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, collection, strings, objects, numbers etc.
The _.shuffle() method creates an array of shuffled values from the given collection using a version of the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm.

// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require("lodash"); // Original array var array = [2, 4, 6, 9, 10]; // Use of _.shuffle() methodlet shuffled_array = _.shuffle(array); // Printing the output console.log(shuffled_array); |
Output:
[ 10, 9, 4, 2, 6 ]
