Conflicting comment IDs followed by deleting and then posting. Comments array keys need to be renewed after each delete. about jquery-comments HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

I'm not sure what you're trying to really do here but just to clarify jquery-comments doesn't try to update the IDs of your models or validate them for conflicting IDs, nor should it do so.

That kind of things should always be handled in you backend and/or API for a number of reasons, mainly related to security and data integrity.

Your API is thus responsible for providing the updated IDs, not jquery-comments.

@jessenieminen I think this issue shouldn't be closed. There is indeed a problem with creation of new comment after deletion. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Delete an existing comment
2. Without closing the window, add a new comment

The new comment is created with internal id (in commentJSON) of the existing last comment. So for example if I had ids: c1, c2, c3 and deleted c2, after adding new comment the new one has id c3. Thus this leads to duplication of c3. As far as I know jquery-comments doesn't expose any function to reindex the internal ids.
Ami I missing anything?

UPDATE:
Got it working by overwriting the commentJSON.id with my own unique id generator. I think that this should be explicitely stated in the documentation.

Post exemple code please
