Is there a way in javascript to retrieve random objects from an array and assign them randomly to a divny clicking a button?

Question

I want to get a random quote from an array of objects with quotes with their respective author name by clicking a button. So far I am in a roadblock and can't seem to understand how to proceed. Below is the markup Get a random code with the click of a button!

const allQuotes = [{qid: 1, quote: "Quote 1", auth: "ABC DEF"}, {qid: 2, quote: "Quote 2", auth: "XYZ ABC"}, {
  qid: 3,
  quote: "Quote 3",
  auth: "XYZ ABC"
}, {qid: 4, quote: "Quote 4", auth: "XYZ ABC"}, {qid: 5, quote: "Quote 5", auth: "XYZ ABC"}, {
  qid: 6,
  quote: "Quote 6",
  auth: "XYZ ABC"
}];

const randomObj = (arr = []) => {
  const num = Math.floor(Math.random() * arr.length);
  return arr[num]
};
console.log(randomObj(allQuotes));
