child id fails because ["id" is required]

[ju-Skinner]

Yes, this sounds pretty trivial, but I am loading data from a large dataset via mongoimport. It is creating the internal _id using ObjectId. What I have seemed to discover that doing the data load this way, it doesn't process the data the same way in which it would be done via a "Post" passing individual records.

I am currently using jsonapi-store-mongodb. There is an issue with that handler when using ObjectId's, but this PR solves that problem, you can see in the screenshot below.

this is a snippet from a simple search, that would correlate with the db.collection.find({})

But once I started to debug the server, it was clear why the results weren't being rendered.

My question is, how can this be solved when bulk inserting data via console?

Apologies for the late reply @ju-Skinner. I'm going to merge the jsonapi-store-mongodb PR and then we can figure out if your issue is with the data store or generic to the jsonapi-server.

With MongoDB 3.6, was able to use the new UUID() in my mongo shell scripts like so:

db = connect("localhost:27017/test");

function apiId() {
    return UUID().toString().split('"')[1];
}

db.user.insertMany([
    { id: apiId(), type: 'user', name: "Terry Trundle", age: 45, status: "active" },
    { id: apiId(), type: 'user', name: "Tammy Tisdale", age: 25, status: "active" },
    { id: apiId(), type: 'user', name: "Theodore Tanner", age: 35, status: "disabled" }
]);
