Have id of string type

[ricardo8990]

Currently id always has to be of type int. However, there're many cases where the id is a String type (using a uuid for instance).

Is there any restriction on Redis that id has always to be an int?

Tried this, but it seems that I can't name any field id rather than the PrimaryKey:

class MyModel(Model):
    id = String(default=my_uuid_function, required=True, index=True, keygen=util.IDENTITY)
    o_id = PrimaryKey()
    ...

Would be great to be able to have id with different types and use a default function.

There isn't a Redis restriction, but my library, rom keeps an integer primary key generally because then I can enforce a certain level of data sanity and uniqueness (much like rowids in sqlite and similar). Reading the library code, and verifying, as long as you define a name for the primary key, you should be okay. It should be letting you do it, and it should only be complaining if you omitted it entirely.

More specifically: the above code you wrote works. Is it not working for you?

You're right, I double checked my code and the above code actually works. Thanks for your help
