Expected to find string at data[0].id. The value of 'id' MUST be a string

[gokeiyou]

An exception is thrown when the application is running, Expected to find string at data[0].id. The value of'id' MUST be a string, but the type of ID in the system is int, how to get out of this situation?

By json:api specification id must be a string: https://github.com/codecutout/JsonApiSerializer/issues/108#issuecomment-529234791

I'm having the same issue. I'm using the JsonApiDotNetCore NuGet package in the backend.

I have two models:

[Resource]
public class ExerciseType : Identifiable<int>
{
    [Attr]
    public override int Id { get; set; }

    [Attr, Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

[Resource]
public class Exercise : Identifiable<int>
{
    [Attr]
    public override int Id { get; set; }

    [Attr, Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [Attr, AllowNull]
    public string? ImageUrl { get; set; }

    [Attr, Required]
    public string Technique { get; set; }

    [Attr, Required]
    public ExerciseType ExerciseType { get; set; }

    [HasMany]
    public ICollection<Equipment> Equipment { get; set; }

    [HasMany]
    public ICollection<PrimaryMuscleExercise> PrimaryMuscleExercises { get; set; }

    [HasMany]
    public ICollection<SecondaryMuscleExercise> SecondaryMuscleExercises { get; set; }

    [HasMany]
    public ICollection<AlternativeExerciseName> AlternativeExerciseNames { get; set; }
}

The problem seems to be coming from the json its the package is returning to the front end.

}

Any suggestions on how I can get around this?
