Prepend string to UUIDs on creation? #61

Closed valerioleo closed 4 years ago

valerioleo commented 4 years ago

Hello everyone, thanks for the cool plugin! I have implemented it in our organisation and have some questions.

Before neo4j-uuid, we were generating our own id like CREATE (Project {id: 'project_abc123....'}). The id property we have always used is the concatenation of project_ + uuid and we do the same for other nodes, e.g. user_<uuid>, subscription_<uuid> and so on...

Is there any way we can prepend a different string to uuid for each specific node? It would be awesome to be able config file similar to:

#optional, default is uuid:
com.graphaware.module.UIDM.uuidPrefix=[[Project, _project], [User, _user], ...etc]

Thank you so much for any help!

Hi @valerioleo . As of today we do not plan to add this feature ourself. We would of course welcome any contribution supplemented by sufficient unit tests.
