Pre generating IDs
Seems that the mutateAsync function pre-emptively returns an ID for an entity. Just wondering if there is a way to do the same outside of using mutateAsync, like more programatically using the ConvexReactClient directly for example?

Unfortunately this is not something that we support at the moment. If you need to pre-allocate Convex documents IDs on the client (e.g. when implementing optimistic updates), one alternative that you could try is adding a new attribute to your documents that you would use whenever you would use regular IDs.
