With this change, it is possible to use
Int8
as the type of an entity'sid
. In addition, whenstore.set
is called with the id argument set to"auto"
, an id is auto-generated (see the comment onIdType::generate_id
for details)Auto-generation is also possible if the type of
id
isBytes
For now, this is really only useful for immutable entities as it's not possible to find out what the id was set to from the mappings; we should address that in a future PR.
Fixes #5018
