Strawberry currently uses a newtype for ID (from str).

I'm not very familiar with graphql but I can see the reasoning behind this choice: IDs are supposed to be opaque values that you don't look inside of, but which are serialised as strings.

The drawback of a newtype is that it causes a lot of manual casting when using Strawberry if you have typechecking turned on. For example with a UUID, you must do strawberry.ID(str(a_uuid)). If you have typing turned off, passing a_uuid directly works fine.

Perhaps there is some way to make this easier?
