`CollectionItem` id is optional

Open tomelliot opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to have a CollectionItem without an id? The types say this is possible: https://github.com/webflow/js-webflow-api/blob/b40a6a12d7dc723ff01ccfeec1e6d30a5d5de73d/src/api/types/CollectionItem.ts#L16. That adds extra work to check the id exists when working with the SDK.

Hi @tomelliot - are you running into errors creating a CMS Item without an ID?

No the issue is in fetching CMS items and mapping them to another structure. I'm expecting they'll have an ID, but the types don't guarantee that (so I have to either type guard or ts-expect an error). I'm assuming in reality they will always have an ID - is that wrong?
