Id data type definition

Looking at: Data types, Schema and Type System | Basic | Dgraph Tour

I noticed of the following type:
id → identifiers stored as strings

I couldn’t find any definition of this type or how it differ from the string type.
Any idea?

Thanks

humm, that feels like something that has been forgotten to remove.
I will investigate thanks!

Hey @mbn18 now looking close, feels it needs a better explaining there. This part is about the XIDs identifier being recorded as strings. See the master docs bellow.

Now, I don’t know how to explain this on the Tour without sounding wordy.

UPDATE*: Actually. Still wrong. I gonna find a better way to fix this. It is about XIDs, but the way it is, is wrong.

Hey @MichelDiz, maybe decrease the name definition of id to only one.
I counted 2 at Data types, Schema and Type System | Basic | Dgraph Tourid and uid
And we do know that there is also the xid

So are they all the same? If so, lets keep only one

uid is different from xid. Anyway, I gonna fix it this week. Would you mind to create and issue in the tour repo and mention me? thanks!
