Mongoose change _id to id
mongodb, mongoose, node.js
Solution
if you want to hide __v in mongodb collection use versionKey: false in schema definition of collection.
example:
'use strict';
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
export class DeviceID extends mongoose.Schema {
constructor() {
super({
device_id: String
},
{
versionKey: false
});
}
}
Problem
I would like to know how can i change the _id to id virtually or anyways so the direct json output from the database looks pretty. Additionally i see a __v generated in my documents and not sure how to hide those fields.
