possible to use managed the object's 'objectID' as a JSONKeyPath? #63

Closed amitailanciano closed 8 years ago

amitailanciano commented 8 years ago

I do not have an explicit id field in any of my core data entities, but I would like to have a unique identifier for serialization -- in my application I use the NSManagedObject objectID property as the unique identifier, is it possible to have Groot serialize it along with the rest of my fields?

Sorry, this is not possible at the moment.

this would be a really nice feature for existing projects which want to adopt Groot. what prevents this from being implemented? Is there another workaround? @gonzalezreal

gonzalezreal commented 7 years ago

There is nothing that prevents this for being implemented. IMHO is a little bit out of scope, but perfectly possible to do it. To be honest, I don't have much time these days, so any PR is welcome, as long as the new functionality is backwards compatible, explicitly opt-in and covered by unit tests.

thank you for your reply! I decided to use my own UUID because the problem with the objectID is that it might change.
