Convert string to ObjectID in MongoDB

codeigniter mongodb

Using mongoose:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');var objectId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId('569ed8269353e9f4c51617aa');

var ObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectId;doc._id = new ObjectId(doc._id); // wrap in ObjectID

codeigniter mongodb

You just need to require the ObjectId function from your mongo.

ObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectID;

Then you can use it like that:

ObjectId("34234234234234234234")

codeigniter mongodb

If you are using Meteor

var id = new Mongo.ObjectID("34234234234234234234");
