  This may be a scenario for a collection hook, like beforeUpdate or beforeRead

  
  

  
  

  Because you won't know the ID ahead of time

  
  

  
  

  Then again, in this case, if the collection isn't changing, you could just manually pass the collection ID

  Well once you make the collection, you can view the ID in payload

  
  

  
  

  So if you just need the ID for this instance - create the collection, view it in payload to grab the ID

  @anisulislampranto How about a virtual field

  
  

  
  

  const getCollectionID: FieldHook = async ({ data }) => (
    `${data.id} // maybe _id?
  );

  
  

  
  

        hooks: {
          afterRead: [
            getCollectionID,
          ],
        },

  
  

  
  

  err

  
  

  
  

  {
    name: 'collectionId',
    type: 'text',
    hooks: {
      beforeChange: [
        ({ siblingData }) => {
          // ensures data is not stored in DB
          delete siblingData['collectionId']
        }
      ],
      afterRead: [
        ({ data }) => {  
          return `${data._id}`; // might be .id, i forget
        }
      ],
    },
  }
        

  
  

  
  

  Not the best example, but hooks I think can help you out
