vscode-guid's Introduction

Insert GUID

A simple command extension for Visual Studio Code to insert globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) into the Code text editor in a variety of formats.

This provides the same useful formats as Create GUID that ships with Visual Studio, but without specific language syntaxes for some formats and without unwanted line feeds. Currently, formats supported include:

Simple string: 11d4dc2e-375a-4b89-9ad4-aa30105385aa
Registry string: {11d4dc2e-375a-4b89-9ad4-aa30105385aa}
C structure: static const struct GUID __NAME__ = {0x11d4dc2e, 0x375a, 0x4b89, {0x9a, 0xd4, 0xaa, 0x30, 0x10, 0x53, 0x85, 0xaa}};
C macro: DEFINE_GUID(__NAME__, {x11d4dc2e, 0x375a, 0x4b89, 0x9a, 0xd4, 0xaa, 0x30, 0x10, 0x53, 0x85, 0xaa);
Unformatted string: 11d4dc2e375a4b899ad4aa30105385aa
C structure only: {0x11d4dc2e, 0x375a, 0x4b89, {0x9a, 0xd4, 0xaa, 0x30, 0x10, 0x53, 0x85, 0xaa}}

The token __NAME__ is easy to replace by double clicking to select every character, unlike <<name>> used in the Create GUID tool.

Installation

You can easily search for and install extensions directly within Code.

Open the command palette: Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on Mac)
Type: Install Extension
Type: Insert GUID
Press Enter or click the download button to install

Code also makes it easy to update extensions:

Open the command palette: Ctrl+Shift+P
Type: Show Outdated Extensions
Press Enter or click the download button to install updates

Using

Whenever you want to insert a new GUID at the cursor or replace the currently selected text:

Open the command palette: Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on Mac)
Type: Insert GUID
Press Enter and select the desired format by typing the number or using the arrow keys.

You can also skip right to step 3 using the default keyboard binding, Ctrl+Shift+[. This is more easily remembered as Ctrl+{ as with the curly brace used in the registry string format, or as Cmd+{ on the Mac.

Options

You can set different configuration options to control the format of GUIDs that can be inserted.

insertGuid.showLowercase: Show lowercase GUIDs (with and without braces) when presenting possible GUID formats to insert. The default is true.
insertGuid.showUppercase: Show uppercase GUIDs (with and without braces) when presenting possible GUID formats to insert. The default is false.
insertGuid.showCodeSnippets: Show code snippets for C++ when presenting possible GUID formats to insert. The default is true.
insertGuid.pasteAutomatically: When not empty, paste the GUID in a specified format without showing selection menu. The default is "".

vscode-guid's Issues

Feature Request: Generate GUID for each cursor

An awesome feature would be the ability to hook into multiple cursors and generate a unique GUID for each cursor on the screen 👍 If you are open for PR's I could have a look at it. Thanks for a nifty extension.

Request: Additional GUID Formats

I would be nice to support the format that fits in C structure definition of GUID with uppercase values.

GUID:
UINT32 Data1;
UINT16 Data2;
UINT16 Data3;
UINT8 Data4[8];

Four hexadecimal values enclosed in braces, where the fourth value is a subset of eight hexadecimal values that is also enclosed in braces: {0x00000000,0x0000,0x0000,{0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00}} (X)

Support devcontainers in Windows

Devcontainers in this repo are meant primarily to support GitHub Codespaces; however, since Node.JS is often installed system-wide, it would be beneficial on some machines to support devcontainers on Windows. Primarily, .gitattributes needs to be updated to use eol=lf, and should probably update .editorconfig and .vscode/settings.json as well.

See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/troubleshooting#_resolving-git-line-ending-issues-in-containers-resulting-in-many-modified-files for more info.

Without this, npm run compile fails, specifically the compile:res task.

Request: Generate unique GUID per cursor

It'd be nice if the extension could generate a GUID per cursor instead of reusing the same one.

Feature request: C++-struct-formatted GUID without the type/macros

For modern C++, initializer lists are a handy way to put GUIDs in code, e.g. for a raw GUID:

GUID myGUID {0xfee9d1ce, 0x5baa, 0x4159, {0x91, 0x2e, 0x5f, 0xad, 0x39, 0x3f, 0x0e, 0x5c}

or when using C++/WinRT (e.g. when using the Windows App SDK):

winrt::guid myGUID {0xfee9d1ce, 0x5baa, 0x4159, {0x91, 0x2e, 0x5f, 0xad, 0x39, 0x3f, 0x0e, 0x5c};

This is essentially the same as option 3, just with everything up to the { deleted/replaced:

static const struct GUID __NAME__ = {0xfee9d1ce, 0x5baa, 0x4159, {0x91, 0x2e, 0x5f, 0xad, 0x39, 0x3f, 0x0e, 0x5c}};

I suggest adding an option that's the right hand side of #3's assignment for the most flexibility

See if interpolated strings can replace util.format

Using util.format required polyfilling several modules and types from Node.js for webworker support. Interpolated strings may work suitably instead.

how to generate uuid(randomly) as a part of html snippet in Visual Studio code?

I want to generate an HTML tag in VSCode when it type "coo" it should give me a suggestion and when pressed enter needs to give the below tag with the random value of uuid. <Cool uuid = "xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxx" id="someId" class= "someClass" />

Update README and CHANGELOG for 1.6.0

Create a 1.6.1 that updates the README and CHANGELOG, with the only entry for the CHANGELOG for 1.6.1 being that I did that. 🤦‍♂️

Insert GUID shortcut is the same as the fold shortcut

both are
Ctrl + Shift + [

Insert GUID in all selections

Hi,

It would be great if extension could replace all selected GUIDs instead of only first one.

Current behaviour:
When chosen insert GUID and had multiple selections, GUID is inserted only in place of first selection.

Wished behaviour:
When had multiple selections, GUID should insert in all of them.

This is desirable when had multiple same GUID, which i want to replace by new one.
Example workflow: select one GUID, CTRL+D multiple times to select more and then insert GUID.

What version of UUID are inserted?

Are these all UUID v4? Or some other version?

Prevent dupe guids

Generated guids should be POSTed to http://www.wasteaguid.info/ so that they know certain guids have already been used. ;)

Only Uppercase GUID

I can't get only uppercase GUIDs when setting
insertGuid.showLowercase = false and insertGuid.showUppercase = true

Support custom formats

Hello.

It would be nice if I could set up a custom format so that I can insert something like this directly:

Guid.Parse("2470d04f-d482-4964-ac15-443a54a620f0")

This could be defined in settings as a list of strings with a placeholder that will be replaced via the GUID.

{
  "customFormats": [
    "Guid.Parse(\"__GENERATED_GUID__\")"
  ]
}

Include option to insert GUID in uppercase

Would you accept a PR to add an option to include the GUID in uppercase? I would do that for both the bare and brace formats, so the menu would be:

6b9937c1-f090-4a33-bdd6-f5e6ef54c41b
6B9937C1-F090-4A33-BDD6-F5E6EF54C41B
{6b9937c1-f090-4a33-bdd6-f5e6ef54c41b}
{6B9937C1-F090-4A33-BDD6-F5E6EF54C41B}
static const struct GUID __NAME__ = {0x6b9937c1, 0xf090, 0x4a33, {0xbd, 0xd6, 0xf5, 0xe6, 0xef...
DEFINE_GUID(__NAME__, 0x6b9937c1, 0xf090, 0x4a33, 0xbd, 0xd6, 0xf5, 0xe6, 0xef, 0x54, 0xc4, 0x1b);

Add extension to Azure Data Studio

This extension would also be nice to use in Azure Data Studio, but is not yet supported.

Migrate to GitHub Actions

Reduce external dependencies and migrate to GitHub Actions. Be sure to update the badge, which hopefully won't expire like it does for Azure Pipelines.
