[QUESTION]: findByFields with nested fieldName

Hi,

I am trying to query my DB using findByFields.

I am doing the following:

this.findByFields({ "contacts._id": _id });

My DB structure looks like this:

[
  {
    contacts: [
      {
        _id: "some id"
      },
      {
        _id: "some id 2"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    contacts: [
      {
        _id: "some id 3"
      },
      {
        _id: "some id 4"
      }
    ]
  }
]

I was assuming by searching using field “contacts._id” would work but it doesn’t seem to work. When I ouput what loader returns for filter I get:

{ 'contacts._id': { '$in': [ '603ce3183499636b66d6d102' ] } }

It seems to transform my value to a string instead of keeping it as an object id.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Added test case and it really should be fixed this time 😄 0.5.2

Looks like ejson should support ObjectId? We could add a small test case to check that
