function shuffle(array) {
  var tmp, current, top = array.length;
  if(top) while(--top) {
    current = Math.floor(Math.random() * (top + 1));
    tmp = array[current];
    array[current] = array[top];
    array[top] = tmp;

    generated = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    let random_index;
    while(!random_index)
    {
        let tmp = Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.length);        
        if( !generated.filter( (g) => numbers[tmp] == g).length )
            random_index = tmp;
    }
    generated.push(numbers[random_index]);
}
console.log(generated);
