# Description Adds `random choice` suggested in #16241. # User-Facing Changes New `random` module in `std-rfc` with the `choice` subcommand. # Tests + Formatting Unsure how do to do tests. Sampling and a histogram should be enough, but they'll be non-deterministic. # After Submitting <!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date. --> --------- Co-authored-by: sholderbach <sholderbach@users.noreply.github.com>
std-rfc
Overview and Requirements
This module includes potential candidate commands (and other definitions) for inclusion in the Standard Library (std) that is built in to Nushell. As a general guideline, candidates should:
- Be general purpose features that will be useful to a number of users
- Include doc comments for definitions and parameters that can be used with
help <command> - Include tests
- Since doc comments are fairly limited, additional documentation can be included
in a GitHub discussion. This documentation can then be moved to the main website when the feature
is promoted to
std. See this example for sometablehelpers.
Showcase and Discussion
While primary feedback should take place in the PR, we have also established a Drawing Board Discord channel which can be used for several purposes:
- Ideation before a PR is submitted
- Raise awareness of the feature
- Short-term questions and discussion
Note: The Drawing Board is not just for std-rfc. Please tag your topic with std-library if it is about a Standard Library idea.
Promotion Evaluation
In general, new std-rfc features will be evaluated after they have been trialed for a sufficient period, which may vary depending on the feature. After that period, the feature may be:
- Promoted to
std - Removed from
std-rfc - Or changes may be requested and then reevaluated later
