here is my code. what is the solution?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The _id in my DB collection was a String. After I enabled mongoose debug require('mongoose').set('debug', true), I found out that the mongoose query id as ObjectId("yourId") unless we define _id in the Schema. In order to solve the problem I had to add _id:String in to mongoose schema.

const MyDataSchema = new Schema({
  _id: String,
...
...
}
