While adding a UUID field in a view, no field formatter available, but the input element of selecting formatter is there still. It might make users like me wonder is it something wrong with this field if without a formatter available for it.
By checking code
/**
* Defines the 'uuid' entity field type.
*
* The field uses a newly generated UUID as default value.
*
* @FieldType(
* id = "uuid",
* label = @Translation("UUID"),
* description = @Translation("An entity field containing a UUID."),
* no_ui = TRUE,
* default_formatter = "string"
* )
*/
Found the string formatter is its default formatter. Further check the string formatter.
/**
* Plugin implementation of the 'string' formatter.
*
* @FieldFormatter(
* id = "string",
* label = @Translation("Plain text"),
* field_types = {
* "string",
* "uri",
* },
* quickedit = {
* "editor" = "plain_text"
* }
* )
*/
It does not support uuid field type explicitly.
There is a uuid_extra contributed module which provides a uuid field formatter. But IMO, it would be better to do it in core by adjusting the annotation of string formatter a little bit, to support uuid field type.
* field_types = {
* "string",
* "uri",
* },
to
* field_types = {
* "string",
* "uri",
* "uuid",
* },
