Here's a video demonstration of how to use the JSON Data Generator extension:

Features

• Quickly generate JSON data with customizable keys and data types.
• Supports various data types including numbers, strings, booleans, dates, and UUIDs.

Installation

To install JSON Data Generator, follow these steps:

1. Launch Visual Studio Code.
2. Go to the Extensions view by clicking on the square icon on the sidebar or pressing Ctrl+Shift+X.
3. Search for "JSON Data Generator" in the Extensions view search box.
4. Click on the Install button next to the "JSON Data Generator" extension.

Usage

1. Open a file in Visual Studio Code.
2. Invoke the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
3. Search for "Generate JSON data" and select the "Generate JSON data" command.
4. Follow the prompts to specify the number of objects and define the keys in the desired format (key:type).
5. The generated JSON data will be inserted into the active editor.

Example

For example, if you want to generate 5 objects with keys id, name, and age, you can input the following:

• Number of objects: 5
• Keys: id:number, name:string, age:number

The extension will generate JSON data containing 5 objects with the specified keys and data types.

You can also generate JSON data with more specific formats:

• id:number(10): Generates a number starting from 10 and increments for each object.
• title:string(some text): Sets the title as "some text" for each object.
• isActive:boolean(true): Sets the value of "isActive" key as true for each object.
• date:date(D/M/Y): Generates a date in the format Day/Month/Year.
• main.sub1:string: Sets the value of "sub1" key nested under "main" as an empty string.
• main.sub2:string: Sets the value of "sub2" key nested under "main" as an empty string.

These formats provide more specific instructions for generating JSON data with different key-value combinations.
