shuffle

Randomizes the order of the values of an array, returning a new array.

Uses the Fisher-Yates algoritm to reorder the elements of the array, based on the Lodash implementation, but as a pure function.

const shuffle = ([...arr]) => {
  let m = arr.length;
  while (m) {
    const i = Math.floor(Math.random() * m--);
    [arr[m], arr[i]] = [arr[i], arr[m]];
  }
  return arr;
};
// const foo = [1,2,3]
// shuffle(foo) -> [2,3,1]
// console.log(foo) -> [1,2,3]
