Coding Convenience: Open Source Guid Generation Extensions for VS & VS Code
Greetings, fellow developers! I would like to say hello with my first post on Medium. I share very rare articles on my blog site osmkoc.com. The articles on my website are written in Turkish, my mother tongue. To be honest, I haven’t shared anything new for a long time. I wanted to share my first English post here.
“Hi, it’s me!”
Since this is my first post, let me introduce myself very, very briefly. As a computer engineer, I have been working professionally in the software field for more than 6 years.
Although my specialty is backend development, I have also had experience in front-end in the past. I have also personally developed and published mobile applications.
I love creating and learning new things. In this article, I will talk about creating a Visual Studio plugin, which I tried to do for the first time. Let’s get there if you are ready.
Guid Generator Extension
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to a nifty little tool that’s about to simplify your coding life. You know those moments when you need a unique identifier for your project, but you don’t want to spend ages crafting one yourself? Well, say hello to my GUID Generation Extensions for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code — your new best coding buddies.
What is Guid?
Now, I won’t get too technical, but let’s just say that a GUID (globally unique identifier) is a 128-bit text string that represents an identification (ID). Organizations generate GUIDs when a unique reference number is needed to identify information on a computer or network. A GUID can be used to ID hardware, software, accounts, documents, and other items.
Magic: Just a Simple Shortcut
No need for complicated rituals or secret incantations — just a simple shortcut, and voila! You’ve got yourself a shiny new GUID ready to roll. It’s like having your own coding wizard by your side, conjuring up unique IDs at your command.
But here’s the best part — I’m not keeping this magic to myself. Oh no, I believe in the power of sharing and caring. That’s why I’ve made these extensions open-source and available on GitHub. So, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to peek behind the curtain, go right ahead. After all, we’re all on this coding journey together, right?
