How to prefix _id / support custom string _id

dazzito opened this issue · 2 comments

I would like to prefix the auto-increment _id with string, is this possible? (e.g PID-001, PID-002...)

This is for a custom _id field. The doc states that to modify the _id, it has to be explicitly specified as Number, but in mongodb _id it doesn't necessarily have to be a number.

It's not possible with this library to prefix the field content.

Taking it from another perspective, why not using normal _id and delegating another filed as counter?

Another solution is what suggested in #102
