SilverStripe Uuid module

Easily add uuid to your DataObjects

Getting started

Simply add the extension to your DataObject

MyDataObject:
  extensions:
    - LeKoala\Uuid\UuidExtension

Call UuidExtension::getByUuid(MyDataObject::class, $uuid) to retrieve the record by Uuid.

In your templates, use UuidSegment to ensure Uuid value is generated on the record.
UuidSegment are base62 encoded in order to be shorter and more readable.

Since Uuid's are stored in binary format for performance reason, you need to call $myObject->dbObject('Uuid').Nice()
to get a readable value.
