Identifiers

In many places, Cord SDK expects some form of an ID. Examples include:

• When managing users and orgs using Cord's REST API
• When specifying a threadID within the <Thread /> component

Most strings are usable as an ID. In particular, a valid ID is a string that:

• has at least 1 character
• has no more than 320 Unicode characters
• does not have any characters from Unicode's "Other" category (control characters, private use characters and unassigned code points)
• does not start with cord: (that prefix is reserved for Cord's internal use)

Examples

Some examples of valid IDs are:

• UUIDs (e.g. aeb2797f-f0a3-485c-a317-4986e2c8343b)
• Email addresses (e.g. sam.vimes@amcw.gov.dw)
• JSON-stringified objects (e.g. '{"page":"/dashboard","section":"Revenue"}')
• Numbers that you convert to strings (e.g. "186282")
