saving in the database variable as ObjectID() MongoDB, NodeJS - json

Question

I created function which is adding people_id inside array of given card. But there is problem that inserted id is always not as an objectId() where I just need it to be saved as objectId.
When id is added to array i I'm sending whole variable board JSON to nodejs API where is executed function findOneAndUpdate. And here is problem because after saved this arrays is not objectID in Author. Can someone tell me how to make it?
JSON board
{
"_id" : ObjectId("59e096a7622a3825ac24f343"),
"name" : "1",
"users" : [
ObjectId("59cd114cea98d9326ca1c421")
],
"lists" : [
{
"list" : "1",
"cards" : [
{
"name" : "2",
"Author" : [
"59df60fb6fad6224f4f9f22d",
"59df60fb6fad6224f4f9f22d",
"59df60fb6fad6224f4f9f22e"
]
},
{
"name" : "3",
"Author" : []
}
]
},
{
"list" : "fea",
"cards" : [
{
"name" : "card",
"Author" : []
}
]
}
],
"__v" : 0 }
Router:
router.post('/add/member', function (req, res, next) {
console.log(req.body)
Board.findOneAndUpdate({ _id: req.body._id },
{
$set: {
lists : req.body.lists
}
},
{
upsert: true
},
((cards) => {
res.send(cards)
})
)
});
model:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var BoardSchema = new Schema({
name: { type: String, maxlength: 20 },
lists : { type: Array },
users : [{ type : Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User' }],
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Board', BoardSchema);
And here is function with adding poeple
$scope.addMemberToCard = (indexList, indexCard, member) => {
$scope.board.lists[indexList].cards[indexCard].Author.push(member);
console.log( $scope.board.lists[indexList].cards[indexCard].Author)
return ApiService.staff.addMemberToCard($scope.board).then(function () {
})
}

You could use the mongoose Types ObjectID method and then transform the string sent into an ObjectID.
const id = new new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(Author);
