generateuuid README

This is a simple utility used to make inserting UUIDs, also known as GUIDs, faster by providing a keyboard shortcut. It generates UUIDs using the uuid library.

Features

There are three commands exposed by this extension.

• Set UUID namespace -> If you are using a UUID version which takes a namespace, you must first set the namespace using this command. This namespace will persist until it is changed again using the same command.
• Set UUID type -> The version of UUID you want to generate. The uuid library has great information on the different versions. This value will also persist until changed.
• Generate UUID (cmd+k cmd+g, ctl+k ctl+g) -> Generates the actual UUID and puts it where the cursor is currently is. If a version of UUID that needs a "name" value is selected, this command will prompt for a "name" value.

Requirements

No requirements.

Extension Settings
