error TS2348: Value of type 'typeof ObjectID' is not callable. Did you mean to include 'new'?
The mongoose docs show that you can instantiate ObjectId without the new keyword, but the typescript definitions (at least the ones I've seen, like the one on DefinitelyTyped) don't have that, so if you want to avoid typescript compilation errors you'll need to use the new keyword:
const objId = new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(strId);You should also be able to do something like:
type ObjectIdConstructor = { (str: string): mongoose.Types.ObjectId; new (str: string): mongoose.Types.ObjectId;}const objId = (mongoose.Types.ObjectId as ObjectIdConstructor)(strId);
It should be mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId instead of mongoose.Types.ObjectId.
