@main bane Good morning, what do you mean by three?

Like 3 random documents?

[main bane]

Yeah

random three doc

[lavish mulch]

Well

You can query all your docs

Then you could do something like

// Array
const array = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H']

const shuffled = array.sort(() => 0.5 - Math.random());
const selected = shuffled.slice(0, 3);

console.log(selected)

So this shuffles an array randomly and picks the first 3 items

Once you get all your documents from a query, you could filter them using this logic

@main bane does that help?

not really. because i don't want to fetch all the data. just random three. anyway maybe i'll have to think about another approach. thanks 🙏

To not get every document, you can get the total doc count via the local API

Then get 3 unique random numbers from that number range

and query those 3 documents separately
