Problem with different finds on model

[thxmike]

I documented this problem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48491035/mongoose-does-not-return-id-in-findone?noredirect=1#comment83977280_48491035

It works great with instances of the model (document) however, when I do a find on an object, the returned object returns from the database but fails to push _id into the schema and states Could not cast �*.��F����G�U` to uuid

Not sure how to fix this one.

As i'm unable to reply on stack i'm writing it here. Try to use mongoose v4 not v5. I had similar problem on new release.

OK Checking Mongoose v4

[thxmike]

I checked using Mongoose v4. This was a problem since v4 does not support the ES6 constructs and fails on LoadClass.

@thxmike replied to your post on stack: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48663223/1714542

The problem is here https://github.com/niahmiah/mongoose-uuid/blob/bfa1b5ad3536b067cac19456eabac2af64beac86/index.js#L100

It occurs when your major version of mongoose differs from the mongoose-uuid's one.

I ended up creating a fork of this repo and updated the bson and mongoose packages. https://github.com/thxmike/mongoose-uuid. I then updated the code to the use the new bson contracts in the naming of the types. I understand why are limited to doing it this way. Basically it is for backwards compatibility. I attempted to pull request this into the repo but since you support the node 0.10, it fails due to mongoose using ES6 construct. I will use my forked version until I can spend more time on this for an alternate solution.
