Namely I need to manually assign the _id for all resources.\r\nI tried with the example provided:\r\n\r\nPOST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/customers/154\r\nWith body:\r\n```\r\n{\r\n     \"name\": \"Johnny Soy\"\r\n}\r\n```\r\nI also tried:\r\n```\r\n{\r\n    \"_id\": 154,\r\n     \"name\": \"Johnny Soy\"\r\n}\r\n```\r\nand:\r\n```\r\n{\r\n    \"id\": 154,\r\n    \"name\": \"Johnny Soy\"\r\n}\r\n```\r\nBut it seems that you can only POST the route ```/:id``` if you have previously created it (only update, no create). Is it possible to manually assign the mongo ID when creating resources??"}}
