Kris Kindle / Secret Santa the Groovy Way

In efforts to explain to folks in the office how secret santa works I directed them to take a look at this secret santa definition or alternatively to examine the following groovy code:

def ezbPeeps  = User.findByCompanyName('eazybusiness')
def hatOfNames = ezbPeeps.collect{it.name}
ezbPeeps.each { peep ->

        def goodPick = null
        while(!goodPick){
                def randomInteger = RandomInteger.getGenerate()
                assert randomInteger > 0
                def index = randomInteger%hatOfNames.size()
                switch( hatOfNames[index] ){
                        case peep.name:
                                goodPick = false
                                break
                        default:
                                goodPick = true
                                print "${peep.name} gets ${hatOfNames[index]}"
                                hatOfNames.remove(index)
                                break                        
                }
        }       
}
