How do get a random element from a List in Dart?

Question

How can I retrieve a random element from a collection in Dart?

var list = [\'a\',\'b\',\'c\',\'d\',\'e\'];

Answer 1

import "dart:math";

var list = ['a','b','c','d','e'];

// generates a new Random object
final _random = new Random();

// generate a random index based on the list length
// and use it to retrieve the element
var element = list[_random.nextInt(list.length)];
