Maxify does not recreate _id properly when it is ObjectID about ground-minimax

[raix]

I minimax doesn't know about mongodb - it just minifies/maxifies objects.

This could be done in the core EJSON.stringify but MDG will prop. not tie it to a mongo specific type. One could perhaps create a ObjectID EJSON type.

You could ask @glasser if they'd take a pr on this or if they have any suggestions, it could be converting ID's from the remote mongo driver - or if minimongo should support _id._str.

Kind regards Morten

it's sort of related to Meteor-Community-Packages/ground-db#82
lists.insert({'_id':new Mongo.Collection.ObjectID(),'name':name});

Yeah, it looks like Meteor-Community-Packages/ground-db#82 is the same issue.

I find it unlikely that MDG would change minimongo's handling of _id's since it' specifically stated that _id's need to be either String or ObjectID. (I recall reading but could not find in the docs).

Do you think that creating a custom/user created EJSON type would be the way to go?
