List ID Generation?

So I’m brand new to Webix, actually considering it as a replacement for ExtJS (whose entire development team was let go after Sencha was bought out by IDERA recently).

I went through the quick start at: https://webix.com/quick-start and just out of curiosity, adding #id# to the template at step #5, I noticed once I got to add_row in step #8, adding a new row resulted a randomly huge id. What is the reason for this? And is there a way to generate an id in a more sequential fashion?

I would assume has I started with an empty dataset, my first added record should have had an id of 1, followed by, 2, 3, 4… etc.

Hi,

Such ids are automatically generated with webix.uid() function for data items without their own ids. The function outputs a timestamp-based value, which ensures the unique item id.

To achieve a sequential pattern, you need to add fixed ids: https://webix.com/snippet/397a3646
