Architecture: Common Patterns
- Unique identifiers for objects in the model are named
idand are UUIDv4 format - Most objects have a
namefield as a Name Label (below) - Most objects have a
mf_owner_idto indicate ownership and support multi tenancy. The field is in UUIDv4 format and represents a Mainflux owner id
Most objects have an orb_tags field which is a JSON object of simple key/values (recursive objects are not supported). This is for organizing the objects and allowing for easier searching and filtering.
Name labels are string/text fields which are meant to be unique identifiers or labels for an object. They may contain ASCII letters and digits, as well as underscores. Must match the regex [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*
