React-admin: [question] Custom id/primary key

Created on 13 May 2017 · 4Comments · Source: marmelab/react-admin

Hello! I've been looking through the docs and I couldn't find how to define a model and datagrid that can use a primary key which is not named "id". For example, we have a Location resource with

code: zipcode, primary key
name: some string

The REST endpoint is still /locations/:code/ and works ok, acting on the code attribute.

Is this possible? Thanks!

From what I know, admin-on-rest requires an id field for each item. It can be integer or string, but it is definitely required. It may be much easier to change backend or your restClient to rename code field into id.
