`random`¶

The random function returns a random value depending on the supplied parameter type:

a random item from a sequence;
a random character from a string;
a random integer between 0 and the integer parameter (inclusive).
a random integer between the integer parameter (when negative) and 0 (inclusive).
a random integer between the first integer and the second integer parameter (inclusive).

Caution

The random function does not produce cryptographically secure random numbers. Do not use them for purposes that require returned values to be unguessable.

{{ random(['apple', 'orange', 'citrus']) }} {# example output: orange #}
{{ random('ABC') }}                         {# example output: C #}
{{ random() }}                              {# example output: 15386094 (works as the native PHP mt_rand function) #}
{{ random(5) }}                             {# example output: 3 #}
{{ random(50, 100) }}                       {# example output: 63 #}
