so this is my code here (express)
app.get('/:id', async (req,res) => {
const id = req.params.id;
console.log(id)
const bids = await Bid.findById(id)
res.render(bids)
})
so this is what I got in the console

I can see it is providing the object id at the top of the console as I have logged, but when I passed it to the findbyid , it is giving me this error
...but when I passed it to the findbyid , it is giving me this error
There seems to be nothing wrong with the mongoose findById(), although it's better to handle the errors properly when using async/await with a try/catch block.
[ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string...
This throws from res.render(bids).
res.render() only accepts a string which is the file path of the view file to render. But here you're passing an object as the parameter. See the documentation.
