I never used mongoose. but if _id is not included in insert query, mongodb driver will generate _ids for you as an ObjectId object. and if you wish to use your own _ids, it's up to you to decide about its type and length, and also you have to guarantee its uniqueness among the collection because any attempt to insert a document with a duplicated _id will fail.
accepted answer of this question may be useful, if you are looking for a method for creating custom _ids that provides a decent degree of guaranteed uniqueness.

_id in client side, isn't it required to check its uniqueness in my collection? I supposed that check is more expensive than type casting in server side, what do you think? _id in client side, isn't it required to check its uniqueness in my collection? I supposed that check is more expensive than type casting in server side, what do you think? I'm using mongodb native driver in a nodejs environment and I need to convert an id string to ObjectId to use it in my update query, how can I do this?
