This module provides an API for adding universally unique identifiers (UUID) to Backdrop objects, most notably entities.

FEATURES

• Automatic UUID generation: UUIDs will be generated for all core entities. An API is provided for other modules, to enable support for custom entities. See https://www.drupal.org/node/2387671

• UUID API for entities, properties and fields: With this unified API you can load entities with entity_uuid_load(), so that all supported properties and fields are made with UUID references. You can also save entities formatted this way with entity_uuid_save() (depends on Entity API).

  Installation

  • Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules
