🚀 Feature Proposal

With the release of MongoDB 5+, MongoDB's driver now exposes the UUID type via require('mongodb').BSON.UUID (see API docs.

This means that Mongoose can expose a UUID type for aggregation like it currently does for ObjectId. This would allow developers to aggregate match on UUIDs.

Current workarounds:

import {UUID} from "bson"; // Mongoose 6 and below (works with Mongoose 7 but ill-advised, see https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/releases/tag/v5.0.0 "BSON v5" section)
import {BSON} from "mongodb"; // Mongoose 7 and above, use BSON.UUID() below

let my = await My.aggregate().match({_id: new UUID("1e984535-98ad-446b-84cc-bd8f59290eb8")}).exec();

Proposed feature:

import mongoose from "mongoose";

let my = await My.aggregate().match({_id: new mongoose.Types.UUID("1e984535-98ad-446b-84cc-bd8f59290eb8")}).exec();
