[JsonIgnore] data returned is ignored. about rethinkdb.driver HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @mrinc ,

Thanks for bringing this up.

I just want to confirmid is Guid.Empty because [JsonIgnore] is ignoring the field during _desalinization_ correct? I think DataExplroer should show the User with a non-empty GUID right?

So, I think the proper attribute for Id something like this:

public class User
{
    [JsonProperty("id", DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

The id field is excluded during serialization on the way out, id is populated by RethinkDB on insert. Then, during deserialization on the way in, the id value is a non-empty GUID and populated.

This is probably what needs to be documented right?

Hi @mrinc ,

I've added some more explicit documentation regarding POCO primary keys.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
