in my code people can follow other people.
So far everything is ok apart from this fact: in the userScheme I have this field.
, following: [{ type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'Users' }]
Since every user has an username, it’s more versatile for me to use dbref with the username.
is there a way to do something like this?
, following: [{ type: Users.username, ref: 'Users' }]
Many thanks,

No, only
ObjectIdvalues that refer to the_idproperty of another collection can be used as refs.Confirmed in the source code.
