Define own entityId

Awesome package this is! ❤

Is there a way to define an own entityId?

I see there is a methode generateId() that is automatically called on Schema construction.

I would like to pass an existing generated id from an auth service or something similar.

Just came across this, I want to assign my own ID so used the entity constructor like this:

const post = new Post(PostSchema, 'my-post', postData)
const id = await repository.save(post)
// id === 'my-post'

Actually, there is a configuration option when you create your schema to override the ID generation. It’s documented here: https://github.com/redis/redis-om-node/blob/main/docs/README.md#schemaoptions.

The tl;dr:

let schema = new Schema(SomeEntity, {
  foo: { type: 'string' },
  bar: { type: 'number' }
}, {
  idStrategy: myIDGeneratorFunc
})
