Mongoose/Mongodb queries do not work with TypeScript Objects

Question

I am using Node.js with mongoose together with Typescript. And based on SO threads like this queries should work with my function as well:

 let conditions = {};

 conditions['belongsToRestaurant'] = dto.restId;
 conditions['belongsToRestaurant']

    await Order.findOne({conditions}).then((doc) => {
                console.log('doc');
                console.log(doc);
            })

The console always logs the proper value for "restId", and always null for "doc".

I have tried every single variation I could think of. I created an object with a constructor, created an object with a set property, tried with classes nothing worked. I tried using mongoose types, such as:

conditions['consumerName'] = new mongoose.Schema.Types.String("asasd");
conditions['belongsToRestaurant'] = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(dto.restId);

Nothing has worked so far. Thx for reading and help in advance!

Sidenote: Keep in mind these fields I am referencing are not in array, or in a subdocument or anything of that nature. And work completely fine when I am not using objects to update.

conditions is already an object and u wrap it in curly braces in findOne which makes it an object inside an object. try removing the curly braces from your findOne function — Asaf Aviv

Just a tiny mistake of wrapping the condition object inside an object.

Removing the wrapping curly braces from the findOne function will fix the problem.

const conditions = {};
conditions.belongsToRestaurant = dto.restId;

await Order.findOne(conditions)
  .then((doc) => {
    console.log('doc');
    console.log(doc);
  });
