Use a field other than 'id' for server calls?

[rfox]

Apologies if this has been asked before its hard to search for

Given a model/store with a defined and working proxy, how do i configure it so it does not submit server calls using id.

For example say i have a server side file representing Cars eg(data/cars.json) and i want to load car 3:

model.load(3,success...fail...etc

Firebug always shows my browser as requesting data/cars.json?id=3.

What if i wanted it to use 'carid' eg data/cars.json?carid=3?

Is this possible? I've looked into using the idProperty field in a model but it is either ignored or that's not what it actually does.

I believe what i want is similar to the mapping property that you can define in a writer except for reading.

Hi rfox,

This one is so ugly that I'm not even sure I want to post it, but close inspection of Ext.data.Model, Ext.data.proxy.Server and Ext.data.proxy.Ajax only gave one possible solution:

model.load(false, {
    params: {carid: 3}
});

Best Regards

That's really anoying, id is a reserved cgi variable in both POST and GET for the server side software im using. Pretty much everywhere I want to load data I cannot use ID as its parameter.

The definition of idProperty on the docs is also confusing . Looks like it only affects the internal storage of the model.

Thanks for your input

I have moved this to the bugs forum and entered as a bug as the idProperty should change the parameter that is sent back. This isn't a bug per-say but an improvement.
