Creating records with custom id

[knownasilya]

Is there a way to do this? If not, this is a request for that 😄

You should be able to either pass in id to createRecord() or override generateIdForRecord if you have a specific format you want to use:

// app/adapters/application.js

generateIdForRecord(store, type): string {
  const id = super.generateIdForRecord(store, type);
  return `${type.substring(0, 3)}_${id}`;
}

I tried passing id, and that didn't create the record. Maybe there was some other issue. Will try again later.

It does work, 🤷🏼 seems like I had something else going on before.
