Create ObjectId in MongoDB using a seed string?

The ObjectId does not accept the seed string. You need to use _id − StringValue. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo667.insertOne({_id:"Chris"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "Chris" }
> db.demo667.insertOne({_id:"David"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "David" }
> db.demo667.insertOne({_id:"Chris"});

> db.demo667.insertOne({_id:"Bob"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "Bob" }
> db.demo667.insertOne({_id:"Mike"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "Mike" }

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo667.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : "David" }
{ "_id" : "Bob" }
{ "_id" : "Mike" }
