06.5 JOBSTER-API: showStats - ISSUE Node: 20.x - Mongoose version "mongoose": "^8.5.2"

[aradradev]

In the controller/jobs.js -> showStats
When I try this code from the course it is not working for the new Mongoose version "mongoose": "^8.5.2":

const showStats = async (req, res) => {
  let stats = await Job.aggregate([
    { $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } },
    { $group: { _id: '$status', count: { $sum: 1 } } },
  ])
  console.log(stats)
  res.status(StatusCodes.OK).json({ defaultStats: {}, monthlyApplications: [] })
}

This is the issue from my console:

When you try the suggestion using the new it will work but there will be some deprecation warnings:

To solve the issue what I did is to use the string interpolation to make sure that I am passing a string.

Of course, if you're not using the new version of Node and Mongoose, this might not work for you.

For the latest mongoose, please use mongoose.Types.ObjectId.createFromHexString(req.user.userId)!

Yeah, this is another alternative, this might also work. However, using string interpolation worked for me.
