Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
This extension provides support for Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) in TYPO3.
From Wikipedia:
A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used for information in computer systems.
—https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier
With the help of this extension, a UUID can be added to possibly every record in TYPO3.
This allows for e.g. safely identifying records that were added by a migration
(in contrast to their uid,
which depends on the time of execution of the migration,
which will be different in each instance like development, stage and production).
