Hi, I'm implementing appwrite with an offline first package. But I'm having problems with relationships because I need to get the id of the child document to create the local copy with the same id. The easiest thing would be to create another id attribute but I want to avoid this for two having two id fields. Is there a way to create the child document with a custom id?

Summary

The user was implementing Appwrite with an offline first package and was having trouble with relationships. They needed to get the ID of the child document to create a local copy with the same ID. They didn't want to create another ID field. The solution was to generate the ID locally using the provided code snippet.

Plain text

        title: 'Spiderman',
        year: 2002,
        reviews: [
            { 
                $id: **CUSTOM ID**
                author: 'Bob', 
                text: 'Great movie!',
                $permissions: [
                    Permission.read(Role.any())
                ]
            },
        ]
    }```

You'll need to generate the ID locally. Maybe you can use this code?

Hi, thanks, I needed that too.
As for what generated an automatic id, it was my mistake that I was ignoring the upload of the $id attribute 😅 but hey, the generation of the id locally also needed
