Cloudant - Model property with type number and marked ID expects string as value about loopback-connector-cloudant HOT 4 CLOSED

Since cloudant uses documents to store data, we can only use type string for id:
see https://docs.cloudant.com/document.html

from loopback-connector-cloudant.

Add some details from discussion:

"id": {
     "type": "number",
     "id": true,
     "required": true,
     "generated": false
}

Will see error

Document id must be a string

I am figuring out how loopback converts the id type to string, will update details later. Not sure which one is better, giving a warning or throwing an error, but we should add some validation/check instead of silently changing it to another type.
