So, when i set a @Prop() to ObjectId, the api wont start, but if i set it a string it loads up just fine.

Can you help me? Thanks!

Heres the error:

Schema:

import { Prop, Schema, SchemaFactory } from "@nestjs/mongoose";
import { Document, ObjectId } from "mongoose";

export type FriendRequestDocument = FriendRequest & Document;

@Schema({collection: "friendRequests"})
export class FriendRequest {
  @Prop()
  author: ObjectId;

  @Prop()
  friend_id: ObjectId;

  @Prop()
  request_at: Date;
}

export const FriendRequestSchema = SchemaFactory.createForClass(FriendRequest);

edit:

I figured it out!

import { Prop, Schema, SchemaFactory } from "@nestjs/mongoose";
import mongoose, { Document, ObjectId } from "mongoose";

export type FriendRequestDocument = FriendRequest & Document;

@Schema({collection: "friendRequests"})
export class FriendRequest {
  @Prop()
  author: mongoose.Types.ObjectId;

  @Prop()
  friend_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId;

  @Prop()
  request_at: Date;
}

export const FriendRequestSchema = SchemaFactory.createForClass(FriendRequest);

I dont really know why its not working.

use `Schema.Types.ObjectId` [docs](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/schematypes.html) – 1sina1 Nov 12 '22 at 12:18

I figured it out! It works with ```Mongoose.Types.ObjectId```, Thanks! – Alms Nov 12 '22 at 13:31
@NoelMaróti You can answer your own question, then others can see there's a working solution. – rickhg12hs Nov 12 '22 at 13:41
FYI, it's better to include code/errors/tracebacks/etc. in codeblocks rather than images. You can just copy/paste the text. – rickhg12hs Nov 12 '22 at 13:51
Okay, i will do that in the future – Alms Nov 12 '22 at 13:53
