after document.toJSON() id is not string

[davibe]

even if document.toJSON().id looks like a string its type is object and i always have t convert it by doing + "" if i want a proper string. Why is that ?

That's unexpected, can you show me a more complete code sample? The below script:

var assert = require('assert');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/gh3647');
mongoose.set('debug', true);

var schema = new mongoose.Schema({ name: String });
schema.set('toJSON', { virtuals: true });

var Person = mongoose.model('Person', schema);

var person = new Person({ name: 'Val' });

console.log(typeof person.toJSON().id);
console.log(person.toJSON().id);

gives me the expected output

$ node gh-3647.js 
string
