AEM 6.5 Graphql Query for UUID

Avatar

Level 4

Is there any unique identifier available which we can use while fetching Content Fragments content? I know AEM has jcr:UUID as a unique identifier for all content but I can't access it in the Graphql query.

Hi @Mukesh_Kumar_Co 

 

Have you tried using path as an unique identifier. You can refer the documentation for further details and an example query for the same - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/headless/graphql...

 

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks

_path returns a relative path which change after author move the content to another folder. I'm looking for some ID which should be unique and not change for a content.

Hi @Mukesh_Kumar_Co 

In AEM, Content Fragments have a unique identifier called `cq:contentFragment`, which can be used to fetch the content fragment's content. This identifier remains constant even if the content fragment is moved to another folder.

To fetch the content of a specific Content Fragment using its unique identifier, you can use the `cq:contentFragment` property in your GraphQL query. 

{
  contentFragmentByPath(path: "/content/dam/my-site/my-fragment") {
    cq:contentFragment {
      elements {
        title
        description
        // other fields
      }
    }
  }
}



In the above example, `cq:contentFragment` is used to fetch the content of the Content Fragment located at `/content/dam/my-site/my-fragment`. You can replace this path with the actual path of your Content Fragment.

@Raja_Reddy I tried to execute the above query in my AEM instance but it shows the error attached in the screenshot. Wondering if I'm missing something.
I wanted to query all the content fragments available at a path along with a unique ID. Can you share the query please?

Thanks @Raja_Reddy for your quick response. I'm using the on-premise version of AEM 6.5.12 and can't see method contentFragmentByPath in the documentation https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/assets/extending/graphql-ap.... Wondering if I'm missing something?

It seems interesting but somehow I was unable to use the suggested solution in my instance. I have responded with follow-up question.
