Simple UUID

A lightweight VS Code extension that adds a Status Bar button to instantly generate and copy a random UUID v4 to your clipboard.

Simple UUID demo

Features

  • One click in the Status Bar generates a fresh UUID v4 and copies it to the clipboard.
  • Also available from the Command Palette as "Copy random UUID v4".
  • Shows a quick confirmation message with the generated value.
  • Zero dependencies — uses Node's built-in crypto.randomUUID().

Usage

  1. Look for the UUID icon in the Status Bar (bottom right of the window).
  2. Click it.
  3. The UUID is now in your clipboard — paste it anywhere.

Alternatively, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run "Copy random UUID v4".

Requirements

No external dependencies or setup required. Works out of the box.
