UUID Support

note

This feature requires the UUID bundle. Ensure \Pimcore\Bundle\UuidBundle\PimcoreUuidBundle::class is in your config/bundles.php and the bundle is installed and enabled.

Pimcore provides a toolkit for UUID support. To activate it, set an instance identifier in config.yaml:

pimcore_uuid:
  instance_identifier: 'your_unique_instance_identifier'

Once set, Pimcore automatically creates a UUID for each new document, asset, class, and object. Access UUIDs with Tool\UUID:

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);
