Get inserted document id in Meteor MongoObservable

So, i'm creating collection as suggested in angular2-meteor boilerplate:

export const BookCollection = new MongoObservable.Collection<Book>('books');

So, if i write something like this:

BookColletion.insert(..., callback_f);

I'm getting an error, that second parameter does not exists. So, how i supposed to get last inserted document's id?

You can get the inserted id like this:

var insertedId = BookColletion.collection.insert();

as mentioned here

I'm not sure what MongoObservable is, nor what that <Book> syntax means, but I suspect that what you want is something like this:

export const BookCollection = new Mongo.Collection('books');
BookCollection.find().observe({
  added(document) {
    // document is the newly added document
  }
});
