Question: What's a good way to have Object identification Id without saving the typename to database?

hey @orta awesome works

I see that in this repo you're saving cuid:typename into database. If a database is already using int autoincrement.
This won't work, because we cannot put string to an Int

I know we can base64 id:typename it in each mutation and resolver, before we give the id to prisma. But this would be very verbose. Is there a good way to

• when the id arrive in mutation resolver. It's already in a Int format (not base64) so
• when the id arrive in Query resolver. It's already in an Int format
• when the id arrive in the client (relay) it's in base64 (id:typename)

One possible way is probably by writng an envelop plugin. I am going to explore envelop.dev. Just curious if you have any opinion about this problem

Another thing I am thinking is that maybe ID scalar can do serialiaze and deserialize.
in serialize we can encode it and in deserialize we can decode it. But not sure where I can read more about this
