I had JSON that contain JSON string . I want to replace JSON string to ObjectId
{
"_id" : "5fd484c39590020dc0dfb82a",
"eventId" : "5fd210952f4961e258437c9f"
}
I want to get the ObjectId like so,
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5fd484c39590020dc0dfb82a"),
"eventId" : ObjectId("5fd210952f4961e258437c9f")
}
db.collection('members').find().toArray({
"_id" : ObjectId("5fd484c39590020dc0dfb82a"),
"eventId" : ObjectId("5fd210952f4961e258437c9f")
})
Is possible to convert the JSON string to ObjectId
Assuming that you might use mongoose, you can do it simply like that:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const _id = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(object._id);
const eventId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(object.eventId);
If you are not using mongoose, an easier way would be to do this:
const { ObjectId } = require('mongodb');
const _id = ObjectId(object._id);
const eventId = ObjectId(object.eventId);
Please note that object would be this:
const object = {
"_id" : "5fd484c39590020dc0dfb82a",
"eventId" : "5fd210952f4961e258437c9f"
}
You should do the following :
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
var ObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectId;
member = mongoose.Types.ObjectId('pass your string here');
console.log(user, typeof(member));
