Foreign Key reference id as string #77

Closed bholz closed 8 years ago

bholz commented 8 years ago

Hi, I have a foreign key relationship that I am keeping and everything works fine except that I would like it to store the value as a string and not an objectId

Here's an example of what I'm looking for Obj1: { "_id": ObjectId("123") }

Obj2: { "_id":ObjectId("987"), "obj1_id":"123" }

Is that doable? Thanks
