entity/touch entity/get not resolving db/ident

[boxxxie]

I have a DB where i have a bunch of idents, and when i get an entity out of the DB and use (get) or (touch) which uses an ident ref, it will come back as a set of :db/id

Is the expected behaviour for get or touch in this case to give me back the translated value of the ident (in this case keywords)?

also, possibly related, when i use (walk/postwalk identity entity) this throws an error. this is something that works in datomic.

anyway, if idents are supposed to resolve the way i described, i can try to add that functionality, otherwise working with idents seems to be a big PITA.

After looking up this topic for a while, i think this is the correct behaviour in terms of returning {:db/ident :ident-name} when being touched. to me it seems like it lowers the utility of idents.

however, the (walk identity entity) code throwing errors seems wrong. i've looked over the entity namespace, and i'm not really sure how to go about fixing this behaviour

I'll have a look at it @boxxxie . Could you add some code example, so I can reproduce this behaviour? Thanks.

I'll try up something soon that uses datomic and datahike side by side for this issue.

Thanks.
