How to properly create an instance of a Waterline model object using my own sails-mongo result?

Question

I am using SailsJS for a project and I need to use native()for specific requests. The problem is that I cannot find the correct way to instantiate the Waterline model object from the result of the mongo collection find. I was looking for information about this, and the only thing I found was the following:

var instance = new Model._model(mongo_result_item);

This should work correctly, but when I do instance.save(function(err, ins){});, the model throws an error due to the "_id" field, which should be "id".

I looked at the Mongo sail code and I found that for the find method they do this:

// Run Normal Query on collection
collection.find(where, query.select, queryOptions).toArray(function(err, docs) {
    if(err) return cb(err);
    cb(null, utils.normalizeResults(docs, self.schema));
});

So, normalizeResults does the magic with the _id attribute and other things.

, , - , sails-mongo utils.js .

:

var mongoUtils = require('sails-mongo/lib/utils.js');

SampleModel.native(function(nativeErr, collection){

    collection.find({ 'field' : value }).toArray(function(collectionErr, results){
        if (!results || results.length == 0) return res.restfullInvalidFieldValue({ msg : 'INVALID_VALUE' });

        var norm_results = mongoUtils.normalizeResults(results);
        var instance = new SampleModel._model(norm_results[0]);

    });

});
