Use Case

As a developer accepting a string OR object id as parameter
I want ensure to convert the string to an ObjectId, if its a valid one
So that I can pass the ObjectId to a mongodb query, or the plain string if its not a valid ObjectId

Example: ObjectId.isValid('Land/Namibia') returns TRUE - which seems wrong.

User Experience

• ObjectId.isValid is reliable
• If bug: What is the number of impacted customers? How severe is the impact? Is anyone blocked or broken?

Dependencies

• upstream and/or downstream requirements and timelines to bear in mind

Risks/Unknowns

• Previous use of ObjectId.isValid may break

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• ObjectId.isValid only returns true for valid object ids

Testing Requirements

• ObjectId.isValid('Land/Namibia') returns false

Documentation Requirements

• DOCSP ticket, API docs, etc

Follow Up Requirements

• additional tickets to file, required releases, etc
• if node behavior differs/will differ from other drivers, confirm with dbx devs what standard to aim for and what plan, if any, exists to reconcile the diverging behavior moving forward
