- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- This module provides an API for adding universally unique identifiers (UUID) to
- Drupal 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.
- * 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).
- * Export entities to use as default/demo content:
- The integration with Features module provides the ability to export UUID
- enabled entities with intact dependencies and references to other entities.
- This functionality depends on Deploy module 7.x-2.0-alpha1 (soon to be
- released) and is probably the most robust way for installation profiles and
- distributions to provide demo content!
- * Services integration:
- The integration with Services module alters all UUID enabled entity resources
- (nodes, users, taxonomies etc) to be based on UUIDs instead. This way it
- becomes easier to share and integrate content between sites. This
- functionality is used by Deploy module.
- * More integrations:
- UUID module integrates with Views, Token, Rules and provides some CTools
- plugins.
