Hi

just a short question regarding the parameters of the properties. I have seen the “property” and the “id” used sometimes. And it seems like they are an alias at the moment. Will you drop one?

Currently having a mass of them in my components.

Hi @Beblebroks,

In short: use `id`.

However, you are correct in thinking they do the same thing. We were using `property` to being with, but changed to `id` as it made more sense.
