JavaScript - Shuffle by underscore.js

The library underscore.js (https://underscorejs.org/) has over 100 useful functions. One of them is shuffle().

Tip: to install, use this npm command: npm install underscore.

We have an array of authors like below. Let's use shuffle to put them in random order.

$(function()
{
    $("#ShuffleButton").click(function ()
    {
        const authors =
        [
            {
                name: 'Mark Twain',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/mark-twain.jpg',
                books: ['The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', 'Life on the Mississippi']
            },
            {
                name: 'Joseph Conrad',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/joseph-conrad.jpg',
                books: ['Heart of Darkness']
            },
            {
                name: 'J.K Rowling',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/jk-rowling.jpg',
                books: ['Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone']
            },
            {
                name: 'Stephen King',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/stephen-king.jpg',
                books: ['The Shining', 'It']
            },
            {
                name: 'William Shakespeare',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/william-shakespeare.jpg',
                books: ['Hamlet', 'Macbeth']
            },
            {
                name: 'Arthur C Clarke',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/arthur-c-clarke.jpg',
                books: ['2001', 'Rendevous with Rama']
            },
            {
                name: 'Isaas Asimov',
                imageUrl: 'Images/Authors/isaac-asimov.jpg',
                books: ['The Gods Themselves', 'Robot Dreams', 'The Naked Sun']
            }
        ];

let shuffledAuthors = _.shuffle(authors);
        let output = "";

        shuffledAuthors.forEach((author) => { output += author.name + "<br />"; });
        $("#DemoContainer").html(output);
    });
});
