randomHexColor

Generates a random hexadecimal color code.

Use Math.random to generate a random 24-bit(6x4bits) hexadecimal number. Use bit shifting and then convert it to an hexadecimal String using toString(16).

const randomHexColor = () => {
  let n = (Math.random() * 0xfffff | 0).toString(16);
  return '#' + (n.length !== 6
        ? (Math.random() * 0xf | 0).toString(16) + n : n);
};
