How can I generate an ObjectId with mongoose?

Question

I want to create a MongoDB ObjectId with the help of Mongoose. Can we access the ObjectId constructor from Mongoose?

Answer 1

For finding the ObjectId constructor on require('mongoose').Types refer to the following code:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var id = mongoose.Types.ObjectId();

The variable id is a newly created ObjectId using mongoose.
