How to treat mongoose/mongodb ObjectIDs as their serialized string values on the frontend?
Node Environment Version: v20.10.0
Package Manager: PNPM Workspaces
Repo Setup: Monorepo/Turborepo
Environment: WSL with VSCode
TRPC Versions:
If I have a query procedure as follows:
and a simple frontend render on react as follows:
The frontend gives an error like:
However. The actual serialized value is of course a
string
for each _id
. What is the current expectation to handle these values? Of course, you can manually say String(user._id)
but is there a more appropriate method to handle this? Like a way to inform TS that these are strings and not ObjectId's on the frontend? I've tried my best to look at some other threads mentioning it, they however seem to mention declaring additional zod output schemas which feels quite cumbersome if you're intending on having varying different data returned.
The goal is to have the values treated as strings i feel.
Thanks for any help guys :)0 Replies
