How to create ObjectId in Mongoose 4.0.x from Hex string?

mongoose.mongo.Types.ObjectId does not have fromString or fromHexString functions. It seems that new mongoose.mongo.Types.ObjectId(hexString) does not create an object id either. 

var id = new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(hexString);
db.Record.find({_id:id }, function (err, campaign){
    if(err) console.log(err);
    callback(campaign);
});

I finally found the method you're looking for. The mongoose.Types.ObjectId class has a static function called createFromHexString, which returns an instance of an ObjectId.

var id = mongoose.Types.ObjectId.createFromHexString(hexString);
db.Record.findOne({_id: id}, function (err, campaign){
    if(err) console.log(err);
    callback(campaign);
});
