Conflicting Id's during partial page refresh about marko-widgets HOT 5 CLOSED

Good question. This has come up before and we made some code changes to support this use case. The problem is that the server is not keeping any state and the unique IDs reset back to 0 reset for each request. As a workaround, we allow the application code to provide a "widget ID prefix" which is just some string that is prefixed to the auto generated ID and this prefix can be used to keep widget IDs unique across requests (assuming the application code provides an appropriate prefix).

The widget ID prefix should be provided as part of the rendering "global" object as shown in the following sample code:

template.render({
        $global: {
            widgetIdPrefix: 'w' + Math.random()
        }
    },
    function(err, html) {

    });

Here is the related code that is used to generate unique IDs on the server: lib/uniqueId.js

Does that solve your problem?
