Mongoskin findAndModify ID object id

Question

Using nodejs, mongoskin.. I'd like to return the updated doc so Im using findAndModify, however the query {_id: "someid"} doesn't work. I think I need to use {id: ObjectID{'someid'} as the query. How do I get the ObjectId type into JS?

Answer 1

try this:

ObjectID = require('mongoskin').ObjectID

{_id: new ObjectID("someid")}
