Meteor.Collection.ObjectID() returning 'undefined'

Question

I have a running Meteor application on a Fedora 18 workstation. The meteor web application appears to be functioning correctly without errors in the web console. When I try to run the following in the Web console it returns undefined.

Meteor.Collection.ObjectID()

According to the documentation and other StackOverflow answers this should work. I have used both FireFox and Chrome to test this. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Mongo replaced Meteor.Collection. Mongo.ObjectID follows the same API as the Node MongoDB driver ObjectID class.

var _id = new Mongo.ObjectID();

Answer 2

Try without the parentheses.

Meteor.Collection.ObjectID

Answer 3

Did you tried to create this ObjectID() with new ?

Please try :

var _id = new Meteor.Collection.ObjectID();
console.log(_id);
