Should I Use Schema.Types.ObjectId or Schema.ObjectId When Defining a Mongoose Schema

Question

It seems like defining my Schema this way:

var PossessionSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  thing: {type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref:\"Thing\"}
});
         


        

Answer 1

The documentation says: "To specify a type of ObjectId, use Schema.Types.ObjectId in your declaration."... "or just Schema.ObjectId for backwards compatibility with v2".

So I use "Schema.Types.ObjectId".
