'How to get fields of a different type when populate is not a ref ObjectId?
There is a mongodb collection called orders
[
{
_id: ObjectId('626101f10709bfd705ebaaff'),
firstName: 'Peter',
lastName: 'Parker',
source: ObjectId('625fa062cc69b9ccda60ff4b')
},
{
_id: ObjectId('6229b108fb9da9e4ee29dcc4'),
firstName: 'Oliver',
lastName: 'Williams',
source: 'Instagram'
},
...
]
When I make a populate request for a collection of orders on the source field
const orders = await Order.find({}).populate('source');
It returns fields with the ObjectId type, that is, it is populated, but does not return with the string type
[
{
_id: ObjectId('626101f10709bfd705ebaaff'),
firstName: 'Peter',
lastName: 'Parker',
source: {_id: '625fa062cc69b9ccda60ff4b', name: 'Twitter'}
},
{
_id: ObjectId('6229b108fb9da9e4ee29dcc4'),
firstName: 'Oliver',
lastName: 'Williams'
},
...
]
