This fork includes minor tweaks for the latest Rails 3.1 & Ruby 1.9
ActiveRecord Random is a Ruby Gem that empowers your ActiveRecord Models with the ability to return a random record without using SQL RAND().
Developed to be compatible with
- Rails: v3.0.x or v3.1.x
- Ruby: v1.8.7, v1.9.1 or v1.9.2
You can install ActiveRecord Random straight from Rubygems. Thanks to Bundler you just need to add this to your Gemfile
gem 'activerecord_random'
Scenario: You have a collection of Questions (model name = Question) and you wish to randomly select one of them.
Question.random #=> random instance of Question
Alternatively you can use the :random finder:
Question.find(:random) #=> random instance of Question
That simple
