Coding Convenience: Open Source Guid Generation Extensions for VS & VS Code
Hello fellow developers! First of all, I want to greet you all by posting my first post on Medium. I rarely post articles into my blog site osmkoc.com. Articles on my website are in Turkish; my mother tongue. Frankly speaking, I have not shared anything new since a long time ago. 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 professionally been working in the software field for over 6 years.
Although my specialty is backend development, I also have experiences in front-end previously. I also personally developed and published mobile applications.
I love creating and learning new things. In this article, I will talk about the creation of a Visual Studio plugin which I tried for the first time. Let’s get to it if you are ready.
Guid Generator Extension
Today, I am going to introduce you to a nifty little tool that is going to make your life so much easier when it comes to coding. You know those moments when you want something unique in your project and don’t want to spend ages crafting that something yourself? Well, say hello to my GUID Generation Extensions for both 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, or globally unique identifier, is a 128-bit text string that represents an identification, or 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 is the best part – I am not keeping this magic to myself. No way, I believe in the power of sharing and caring. That is why I have made these extensions open-source and available on GitHub. So, if you are feeling adventurous and want to peek behind the curtain, be my guest. After all, we are all in this coding journey together, right?
