Meteor: Finding an object from a collection by _id

Question

I am trying to find an object by _id with Meteor.

Here is what I have tried:

Meteor.publish(\"gifts\", function(gid) {
  console.log(\"Looking for \"         


        

Answer 1

Where did you insert the document from? MongoDB treats strings and objectIds differently, and it looks like there is currently a bug in Meteor that does not handle objectIds correctly.
