Changing ID field using isId not working for admin-bro-mongoose

[Christian Konrad]

It is a common pattern to replace the "_id" field of mongoose by the given "id" virtual when calling toObject or toJSON on a mongoose model instance to have a clean and concise API output. Using admin-bro with admin-bro-mongoose, I tried to change the id field accordingly using isId:

const adminBro = new AdminBro({
  resources: [
    {
      resource: User,
      options: {
        listProperties: ['name', 'email', 'id', 'role'],
        properties: {
          id: {
            isId: true, // <--- expect this to force adminBro to use this as the actual identifier
          },
        },
      },
    },
...

But it does not have an effect. I can not access any resource in show or edit mode or delete it via the action buttons as it fails finding the id field. It produces links like http://localhost:3000/admin/resources/User/records/show missing the id path param. After further investigation, it seems like the "_id" attribute is a hard coded constant and I could not find out if using PropertyOptions will successfully overwrite it or not: https://github.com/SoftwareBrothers/admin-bro-mongoose/blob/master/src/property.ts

Please someone fix this issue or tell me how I can change the ID field using mongoose, as I don't want to output the "_id" field in my json outputs.

Installed libraries and their versions

• admin-bro@3.3.1
• admin-bro-express@3.0.1
• admin-bro-mongoose@1.1.0

Expected behavior
When setting isId: true, I expect the field to be used as the identifier for accessing the show, edit and delete actions.
