_id 为 String 类型时出现 Mongoose Cast to ObjectId failed 解决方案
{
"_id" : "Football",
"ancestors" : [
"Categories",
"Sports and fitness"
],
"parent" : "Sports and fitness"
}
模型定义如下
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Category = mongoose.Schema({
_id: String
});
var categorySchema = mongoose.Schema({
ancestors: [Category],
parent: [Category]
});
// Initiate database connection
var db = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost/Categories');
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function callback () {
console.log("openDB categories");
});
module.exports.category = db.model('Category', categorySchema);
var categoryModel = require('../models/Category');
var Category = categoryModel.category;
exports.getAncestors = function(req, res) {
if (req.params.id == undefined){res.send("no id specified!"); return;}
Category.findOne({_id: 'Football'}, 'ancestors', function(err, ancestors){
if(err) console.log(err);
res.send(ancestors);
});
}
运行时发生错误
{ message: 'Cast to ObjectId failed for value "Football" at path "_id"',
name: 'CastError',
type: 'ObjectId',
value: 'Football',
path: '_id' }
解决方案
mongoose 默认将 _id
设为 ObjectId
类型。
var categorySchema = mongoose.Schema({
_id: String,
ancestors: [{type: String }],
parent: {type: String}
},{ _id: false });
var Category = mongoose.model( "Category", categorySchema );
