setter get mongoose object id before save

Is it possible in mongoose to get _id before save in other property setters?

Example i got a field "fileName" and want to make function for setter that will pass fieldName and objectId to other function for processing.

To expand on my earlier commment, you could do something like this:

schema.pre('save', function(next) {
  // do stuff
  next();
});

Note: .pre('save') hooks don't run on updates such as update() or findOneAndUpdate()

There is also a .post('save', function() {}) hook that you can use as well.
