Is there a way to create one array properties with many mongoDB objectiID inside - arrays

Question

I use Loopback4.
When i want to add a mongoDb ObjectId property inside my model i do that :
#property({
type: 'string',
mongodb: {dataType: 'ObjectID'},
})
organizationId?: string;
Now i want to make an array with MongoDB ObjectId properties inside, so i tried to do :
#property({
type: 'array',
itemType: 'string',
mongodb: {dataType: 'ObjectID'},
})
tagsId?: string[];
but it seems like all the array is converted to one ObjectID inside the mongoDb.
What I want to do is to simply get an array with many ObjectId inside. I tried everything in my knowledgme: that was not enough.

Answer 1

i found a solution :
Step 1 :
create a model with just one id.
Step 2 :
Make an array with your new model
Step 1 :
In your future model (in my case : tagReference) :
#model()
export class TagReference extends Entity {
#property({
type: 'string',
mongodb: {dataType: 'ObjectID'},
})
id?: string;
constructor(data?: Partial<TagReference>) {
super(data);
}
}
Step 2:
Where you want your array :
import {TagReference} from './tag-reference.model';
#model()
export class Resource extends BaseEntity {
// ...
#property({
type: 'array',
itemType: TagReference,
})
tagIds?: string[];
// ...
}
