In this Article we will go through how to pick a random property of an object only using single line of code in JavaScript.
This is a one-line JavaScript code snippet that uses one of the most popular ES6 features => Arrow Function.
Let's define this short function:
const randomProp = obj => Object.keys(obj)[(Math.random() * Object.keys(obj).length) | 0];
const colors = {
