Demonstrating how to concatenate arrays and then shuffle them (AngularJS).
// This is inside your callbacks, when you have gotten data -- somehow. Replace vars with the correct var names obviously.
$scope.combined = $scope.combined.concat(data);
$scope.combined = shuffle($scope.combined);
// Elsewhere...
function shuffle(array) {
var currentIndex = array.length
,temporaryValue
,randomIndex;
// While there remain elements to shuffle...
while (0 !== currentIndex) {
// Pick a remaining element...
randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
currentIndex -= 1;
// And swap it with the current element.
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
return array;
