How to test for collection ID in Meteorjs

Several of my methods take in IDs as input. I was wondering how could I use the check package to check if these were valid ids or not. It seems Meteor doesn't use the conventions defined in the Mongo docs.

From the Mongo.Collection documentation we see that upon creating it takes an option idGeneration which is used to determine the method of generating the _id fields of new documents. The default method is a random string, meaning that you should use check(docId, String).

The other method is using random Mongo.ObjectID values. For this method you can use Match.Where(<function>) to determine that the id is valid with a simple regex.
