Randomizr

Returns one random Active Record object using cross-platform ANSI compliant SQL.

We have all used order by rand() to select a random record from time to time. We know we shouldn’t, but it was just too easy. Well no more. NO MORE. It’s now easier to do it properly by just using this gem. That’s right. It will solve all your ansi-sql troubles and put that smile back on your face.

Prerequisites

Active Record, of course. Any version 2 or 3 will do.

Installation

config.gem 'randomizr'

or in your Gemfile:

gem 'randomizr'

I told you installation would be easy.

Examples

Comment.randomizr     # => look ma, a random comment!
