PersonSchema;
PersonSchema = {
name: String,
email: String
};
PersonSchema.plugin(customId, {mongoose: mongoose}); // _id will look like 'VQvnBImPTGAoqeVY'
//PersonSchema.plugin(customId, {mongoose: mongoose,
generator: function() {return Math.random();}}); // _id will look like '0.45921047893352807'

generatorAsync: function(callback) {callback(Math.random());}}); // same as above, but using async generator
mongoose.model('Person', PersonSchema);
Notes
This plugin must be provided with an exact instance of
mongoose
, where the processing models expected to be processed, inopts
parameter.This plugin forces _id field on Schema to be of type
String
. New documents will get it generated, if it wasn't specified.By default (if no specific generator option is provided to plugin), plugin will generate URI-compatible base64-representation of generated ObjectId, which is 16 characters long.
If
generator
option is specified, it's a function, taking no arguments and returningString
result, which will be called every time the new _id needs to be generated.If
generatorAsync
option is specified, it's a function, taking a callback argument, which acceptsString
parameter. Async generator will be called every time the new _id needs to be generated.
