Uuid (Statamic 3)

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 aryehraber/statamic-uuid

Publish the fieldtype assets:

php please vendor:publish --tag=uuid

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.
read_only	false	Set the input to read-only, stopping the user from editing the field.
id_prefix	''	Add a prefix to the ID.
id_type	uuid	Set the underlying ID generator, options: uuid & nanoid.
alphabet	null	Set a custom alphabet when using nanoid.
size	null	Set the max character limit when using nanoid.
