Description
Current Limitation
Currently APIs exposes the internal uuid when creating APIs etc. User cannot provide any value for the id. This id appears in URLs etc which is not good. It is better if we can have an id which is provided by user.
Suggested Improvement
- Generate an id when the id is not provided based on the API name
- If user provides an ID, use it
- Validate the id for the uniqueness.
- When generating, make sure the uniqueness of the ID
