Vscode: New snippet variable: UUID_V4 (generate a random UUID)

Created on 27 Oct 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: microsoft/vscode



Vscode snippets support a bunch of auto-generated variables - e.g. variables related to filepaths, timestamps etc.

Could you please add a new variable called something like UUID_V4 that will auto-generate a version 4 UUID? (random)

e.g. When executing the snippet, the ${UUID_V4} placeholder would be replaced with a value like: e83961ec-f06d-4539-b7ba-a08175ceac3c
