If I overwrite the default create endpoint using custom endpoints within a collection, and I get the newly created object ID {insertedId: id}, which return statement can help me prevent /api/collection/undefined? res.status(200).send("what should be here?")

    Good morning, I currently don’t know your direct use case. If you need it directly, you should return the newly created id.



    Otherwise you should return HTTP Status code 201 created

    Thanks alot, the 201 status code helped and what I was looking for was const response = {message: "my message", doc: payload} and the payload includes the id and other document properties.
