Randomize Everything

Randomize Everything is a Nova extension that adds commands to randomly generate numbers, strings, colors and a myriad of other things, which can be pretty handy when you need placeholder, demo or test content.

Installation

You can install Randomize Everything from the Nova extensions website.

From within Nova, you can install Randomize Everything using Nova's Extension Library. Do this by going to 'Extensions' in the menu bar and clicking on 'Extension Library...' (alternatively press ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + 2 on your keyboard), and then searching for Randomize Everything.

Usage

Once installed and activated, Randomize Everything can be accessed several ways:

• Through the Command Palette, my personal favourite ('View' and 'Command Palette...' in the menu, ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + P).
• As an option in the Editor menu ('Editor' and 'Randomize Everything'), when a compatible document is open.
• Via the right-click context menu, when a compatible document is open.

Contributing

Whilst basic, this is my first time developing an extension for a code editor. There might be silly mistakes or questionable decisions here and there. Feel free to submit pull requests to fix anything that's obviously off-kilter.

Randomize Everything is tailored to the use cases that I typically need it for. If there's something that can be added that you think would benefit others, feel free to raise an issue to suggest it!

Thanks

Inspired by, and hat tip to, random-sublime-text-plugin and nova-uuid for the inspiration and the handy dandy open source code I used to get started.
