objectifyId only converting for _id field

[jfexyz]

Is there a reason why objectifyId() only converts an id if the id field is _id? This currently makes it impossible to use an ObjectID in another field as the primary key.

Can't the other fields be converted in a before hook?

app.service('myservice').before({
  find(hook) {
    hook.params.query.otherField = new ObjectId(hook.params.query.otherField);
  }
});

Possibly, I haven't tried that. Though I'd prefer to not have to depend on hooks being enabled. (I'm writing a service that extends the default Mongo one, and I'd like it to just work.)

A better workaround IMO would be moving the utility functions into the service, so they could be overridden. That would make them cleaner overall, and would solve other problems as well.

Would that be considered? If so, I'll put together a PR...

Absolutely. Probably similar to your PR from #36. Then I can release both those PRs together.
