cidPrefix

The cidPrefix property for "client id prefix", and is used for generating the cid value for the model.

To see how it's used, see the docs for the generateCid() method here.

Default Implementation

The default implementation looks like this:

cidPrefix: 'c',

Usage

Whenever you create a model, it is assigned a cid, which is generated using the cidPrefix followed by an integer.

Let's use this code to illustrate:

import { Model } from 'lore-models';

const Tweet = Model.extend();

const t1 = new Tweet();
const t2 = new Tweet();

In the example above, t1 will have a cid of c1, and t2 will have a cid of c2.

If we want to change this, we can define a custom cidPrefix like this:

import { Model } from 'lore-models';

const Tweet = Model.extend({
  cidPrefix: 'tweet'
});

const t1 = new Tweet();
const t2 = new Tweet();

In the code above, we define a custom cidPrefix declaring that all cid values should begin with tweet. This will mean t1 will now have a cid of tweet1, and t2 will now have a cid of tweet2.
