function MaskEntityTrait::id

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 4.0.x modules/ctools_entity_mask/src/MaskEntityTrait.php \Drupal\ctools_entity_mask\MaskEntityTrait::id()

Implements \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface::id().

Mask entities are generally not saved to the database like standard content entities, so it cannot be assumed that they will have a serial ID at any point in their lives. However, Drupal still expects all entities to have an identifier of some kind, so this dual-purposes the UUID as the canonical entity ID. (It would be nice if core did this as a rule for all entities and stopped using serial IDs, but, y'know, baby steps.)

Return value

string Returns the UUID of the Entity.
