UUID Support

Note This feature requires UUID bundle to be active. Please make sure that you have \Pimcore\Bundle\UuidBundle\PimcoreUuidBundle::class entry in your config/bundles.php and make sure that the bundle is installed and enabled.

Pimcore provides a toolkit for UUID-support. To activate the UUID-support, an instance identifier has to be set manually in the config.yaml file.

pimcore_uuid:  
  instance_identifier: 'your_unique_instance_identifier'  

Once set, Pimcore automatically creates an UUID for each newly created document, asset, class and object. With the class Tool\UUID you have access to the UUIDs as follows:

use Pimcore\Bundle\UuidBundle\Model\Tool;  
    
//get UUID for given element (document, asset, class, object)  
$uuid = Tool\UUID::getByItem($document);  
   
//get element for given UUID  
$document = Tool\UUID::getByUuid($uuid);  
   
//create and save uuid for given element  
$uuid = Tool\UUID::create($document);
