LIDs

Link IDs and how they work in Stubber

Overview

• LIDs are sets of data that link via a single uuid
• LID data is saved inside stubber
• When you create a lid you receive a UUID
• This UUID is used to reference the data inside the platform
• LIDs are used when you wish to attach data to something while keeping it inside stubber

Uses

• You can use a lid to store data that you wish to reference inside a URL
• You can use a lid to store data that you wish to reference inside a webhook

Enabling

LIDs are disabled by default in most systems. In any system where LIDs are disabled by default, they can be enabled by setting the top level parameter enable_lids to true.

Examples

Create a LID and then reference it in a Stub URL

1. Use the create_lid task to create a LID with some data.
2. Use the stuburl helper to reference the LID in a URL.
3. The Stubber page that is accessed via the URL, will have access to the LID data, by way of the LID reference.
