How to change id field in miragejs db

Question

I am wondering how I could change the default, generated id column for a mirage db from 'id' to something like 'userId' as my front end expects. Thanks!

Figured it out, this can be done by extending your serializer and using the keyForAttribute function. It will look something like:

createServer({
  serializers:{
    user: RestSerializer.extend({
      keyForAttribute(key){
        return key === 'id' ? 'userId' : key
      },
    })
  },
  //models{...}
  // rest of createServer...
)}
