fetch _id from javascript listcallback

[sivak...@gmail.com]

Hi,

The javascript listcallback does not return the "_id" field of my document. I don't want to use the options as I want all the fields including "_id". I could not find this in the document. Can you please guide me on how to get the _id?

Thank you!

Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,

In case you wanted to use the _id column as out-of-the-box unique id for each object, it is not recommended to do so.

Please use a customized unique field for your collections.

If you are talking about aggregation, you should be able to retrieve _id objects using $project pipeline.

I hope this helps,

Hi Taka,

Thanks for your reply!

I am not sure why it is not recommended but I will find a way to identify the objects.
