api express does not recognize uuid fields as keys

[Joe Morris]

We use UUID generator to create our keys. API express does not seem to recognize those as key fields.

It seems that api express does not recognize views. Yes, a question in the form of a statement.

Interesting, I do not understand why my question about "views" was merged into my question about "UUID key fields"

Oh well, I hope someone has some answers.

Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe - I've just put this in one place - we'll forward your questions to our API Express team. Thanks.

[Joe Morris]

Ah, thanks.

Hi Joe,

Regarding question about views, yes, there is no possibility to create model based on view. Because view implies SQL request which can combine data from few tables.

As to UUID field, if it's marked as primary key you can create a model, if not- then you cannot.

[Joe Morris]

The UUID fields are set up as primary keys.

When creating the model in API Express the field type of the tables comes up UNKNOWN so I am unable to identify it as the key.

Could you please show us your implementation with screenshots?

Here is an image from pgAdmin of one of the tables.

Hello Joe,

We have checked and unfortunately we do not support uuid generator now.
We have added this to our to-do list, but this will take time. Please stay tuned.
