Uuid (Statamic V2)

Series Eight
Release Notes Github Repo

One of its kind; unlike anything else

This fieldtype auto-generates UUIDs for empty fields. This can be useful if you need unique, persistent IDs for each row in a Replicator, for example.

Installation

Install the addon via composer:

composer require serieseight/statamic-uuid

Publish the fieldtype assets:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SeriesEight\Uuid\UuidServiceProvider"

Usage

Inside your blueprint, simply use type: uuid and a UUID will be generated for that field if it's blank. Already occupied fields (including previously generated UUIDs) will not be overwritten.

Settings

Name Default Description
hidden false Hide the field from the CP while still generating a UUID.
readonly false Set the input to readonly, stopping the user from editing the field.
prefix '' Add a prefix to the ID
