Level 11: Random Story Access ⚡ CHALLENGE LEVEL

User Story: As a user, I want to discover random Mad Libs stories from my collection so that I can be surprised by stories I’ve forgotten about.

What You’ll Do

Create a route to display a random story from the stored stories.

Instructions

• Create /random route
• Use Math.random() to select a random story
• Display the random story in a styled format
• Add 3 dummy stories to the array for testing

💡 Code Hints

Need help with random selection? Check out these snippets:

• Random number: Use Math.floor(Math.random() * stories.length)
• Array access: Use stories[randomIndex]
• Empty array check: Handle case when no stories exist
• Dummy stories: Use let stories = ['Story 1', 'Story 2', 'Story 3']; for testing

✅ Check

1. Add 3 dummy stories to your array for testing
2. Navigate to /random route
3. You should see a random story displayed
4. Refresh the page to see different random stories
5. If no random story appears, check your random selection logic
