Directus Extension: Human Readable ID

A Directus v10+ Interface for generating a human-readable ID for a text or string field in a collection. The ID takes the form of {adjective}-{color}-{animal}, such as spicy-blue-eagle or mean-pink-starfish.

The different components of the ID can be manually selected from all of the possible values or a custom value can be entered.

This extension is inspired by the IDs generated by coolaj86/human-readable-ids.

Use Case

The idea is that this provides a realtively large set of random combinations that can be used as easily-remembered codes or IDs.
