Randomness downloads statistics

Insert random numbers, UUIDs, names, IP addresses, and much more using an IntelliJ action.

To insert random data, press Alt + R (or ⌥R) to open the list of available templates and choose one that suits your task. By default, a different value is inserted at each caret.

🕸 Data Types

There are six basic data types that can be inserted and customised:

• Integers, such as 7,826,922, from a custom range, in any base from binary to hexatrigesimal. • Decimals, such as 8,816,573.10, using customisable separators. • Strings, such as "PaQDQqSBEH", with support for reverse regex. • Words, such as "Bridge", with predefined or custom word lists. • UUIDs, such as 0caa7b28-fe58-4ba6-a25a-9e5beaaf8f4b, with or without dashes. • Date-times, such as 2022-02-03 19:03, or any other format you want.

🧬 Templates

For complex kinds of data, you can use templates. A template is a list of data types that should be concatenated to create random data. Insert phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, IP addresses, or any custom data type you can think of. Of course, Randomness comes bundled with a multitude of predefined templates to help you out. To help you save time, you can also include templates inside other templates using references.

🗃️ Arrays

Need a lot of data? Insert an entire array of any template you want. For example, an array of integers might look like [978, 881, 118, 286, 288] or {0: "dog", 1: "giraffe", 2: "mouse"}. You can customise the brackets, delimiter, element format, and number of elements to your liking every time you insert an array, because no two arrays are the same.

⌨ Shortcuts

Instead of using up all your shortcuts, Randomness only uses the Alt + R (or ⌥R) shortcut by default. However, to streamline your workflow, you can assign shortcuts to any template under your IDE's Keymap settings.

💨 Fast insertion

The insertion popup (shown when you press Alt + R (or ⌥R) by default) is searchable: Just type something in the popup and relevant templates will be filtered out. Or use the hotkeys that are assigned to the first 10 templates in the list: Press any digit to directly insert the corresponding template. Reorder templates in the settings menu to change which template uses which hotkey.

👀 Previews

To help you decide what settings to choose, a preview of the template is shown while you're editing.
