netlify-cms-widget-uuid

Netlify CMS plugin to support UUID widgets.

Widgets are inputs for the Netlify CMS editor interface. It's a React component that receives user input and outputs a serialized value.

NetlifyCMS offers the ability to add referential links between collections. It unfortunately does not provide a key widget to safely link between items.

Install

As an npm package:

1. Install the widget:

npm i netlify-cms-widget-uuid-v4

2. Import the UUID widget in the netlifyCMS file:

import {UuidControl, UuidPreview} from 'netlify-cms-widget-uuid-v4';

3. Register the widget ready for use:

CMS.registerWidget('uuid', UuidControl, UuidPreview)

Via script tag:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/netlify-cms-widget-uuid-v4@^1.0.12/dist/index.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  CMS.registerWidget('uuid', uuidWidget.UuidControl, uuidWidget.UuidPreview)
</script>

How to use

Inside the YML collections file use the new widget.

collections:
  - name: "example"
    label: "Example"
    folder: "/path/to/your/folder"
    create: true
    slug: "{{slug}}"
    fields:
      - {label: "ID", name: "id", widget: "uuid"}
