--description--

When saving a document, MongoDB automatically adds the field _id, and set it to a unique alphanumeric key. Searching by _id is an extremely frequent operation, so Mongoose provides a dedicated method for it.

--instructions--

Modify the findPersonById to find the only person having a given _id, using Model.findById() -> Person. Use the function argument personId as the search key.

--hints--

Find an item by Id should succeed

(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/find-by-id').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.name, 'test', 'item.name is not what expected');
assert.equal(data.age, 0, 'item.age is not what expected');
assert.deepEqual(
data.favoriteFoods,
['none'],
'item.favoriteFoods is not what expected'
);
assert.equal(data.__v, 0, 'The item should be not previously edited');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
