Shuffle Trello : Pick a random card in a column

This small script pick a random card in a column on a Trello board.

We use this script at Kuzzle to pick a random card for our product workshop.

Usage

Change the number of the column from which you want to take a random card. For example to pick a card in the first column of the board:

var column = 1;
fetch(document.querySelector(`#board > div:nth-child(${column}) > div > div.list-cards.u-fancy-scrollbar.u-clearfix.js-list-cards.js-sortable.ui-sortable`).children[Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(document.querySelector(`#board > div:nth-child(${column}) > div > div.list-cards.u-fancy-scrollbar.u-clearfix.js-list-cards.js-sortable.ui-sortable`).children.length))].getAttribute("href")).then((data) => {document.location = data.url })

shuffle-trello.js

// original script from https://github.com/alexandrebouthinon
// Column number to shuffle (From left to right, Trello start with column number 1)
var column = 2;
fetch(document.querySelector(`#board > div:nth-child(${column}) > div > div.list-cards.u-fancy-scrollbar.u-clearfix.js-list-cards.js-sortable.ui-sortable`).children[Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(document.querySelector(`#board > div:nth-child(${column}) > div > div.list-cards.u-fancy-scrollbar.u-clearfix.js-list-cards.js-sortable.ui-sortable`).children.length))].getAttribute("href")).then((data) => {document.location = data.url })

How do you use this one?

It will shuffle cards in the second column. If you want to shuffle card from another column you can change the 2 here "#board > div:nth-child(2)

Thank you for your answer. I meant: Where can I put this code? As a booklet in Chrome?

Yes I think a booklet will work. Otherwise you can put it in the browser console

This doesn't seem to work anymore - I guess Trello changed their UI a bit:

VM181:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'children')

Yes most likely :-) The script is quite old and we don't use it anymore.
