Can not use string as object ID ? about json-server HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

Thanks, that's interesting, I didn't try with hash ids. I used incremental ids (1, 2, 3...) to make it simpler from a user point of view.

Do you need json-server to support string as object ID or was it just a test?

that'll be great, since noDB is not using 1,2,3 as id, it's harder to use it with integer only. When you try to add a record, you don't know what it'll be, so calling a unique id algorithm will add that.

the other thing which will be very helpful is to have a standalone PHP script to take care of rest api instead of node.js app. Because most of server is equipped with php by default. This will increase the usage of your library big time.

I really need this feature... issues I have keys that looks like this as ID, 980067645AG
Really nice project.

seems this is a good candidate for node.js, https://github.com/flosse/json-file-store, however you still need to setup a server/express to use it effectively. But the functionalities is pretty much what CRUD needs.

hi @eduardoinnorway I'll try to come up with something.

Actually using https://github.com/typicode/lowdb for the JSON file database on JSON Server :)

Sorry, it took some times but the feature is here now in v0.5.11.
In case, it can't generate an integer id, it falls back to using a uuid.
