How Can I Return a Random Object in Loopback?

Question

I'm using loopback to build an application, and would like to write a custom remote method which returns a random model instance from the database.

Is there a way to do this using the built-in ORM?

Thanks!

There is no built-in way. You can do it manually depending on the type of data source you're using.

Thanks! Would be cool to get random() stuff added into the ORM, but that's a totally non-SO related thingy ^^ – rdegges Mar 05 '15 at 06:34
