• 
  Why do my MongooseJS ObjectIds fail the equality test?
  
  1 answer
  
  

Suppose that I have two collections:

Users

_id:5c810da8c714a02e84d16d16
username:foo

Tokens

_id: 5c81347b00370c2848db8725
_userId: 5c810da8c714a02e84d16d16
token: "83790bf08fa16eec1c3c6761d0c1be4f"

I'm trying to check if the token with id 5c81347b00370c2848db8725 is linked to the user with id 5c810da8c714a02e84d16d16.

The first problem is that I only have the username to find the user details, so this is my solution:

User.findOne( username: req.body.username , async function (err, user) );

now the code above will return the following result:

5c810da8c714a02e84d16d16
5c810da8c714a02e84d16d16
true

but should return false because the record are equal.. What I did wrong?

The equality operator is mostly useful for comparing native types, such as strings. In MongoDB, the ObjectID is an object that cannot be compared with == operator.

Mongoose uses the mongodb-native driver. These use the native ObjectID type from the Mongodb driver. Object IDs can be compared using the .equals() method.

With your example, you should write your check as:

user._id.equals(token._userId)

Documentation

Note that if you want to use Equal, you should convert the ObjectIDs to strings prior to making the comparison:

user._id.toString() === token._userId.toString()
