Passing Dynamic Mongoose query into db.collection.find()

I have a client side application that I would like to have the ability to specify arbitrary queries to MongoDB through a server side call to a query function.

I have tried multiple arrangements on both my client and server to try to make this work but I can't seem to figure out the correct way to go about this.

This is an example request that my client would send (although the goal is for the query property to be any valid query that one could hardcode on the server side):

{
    "collectionName": "abilities",
    "query": "{\"_id\":{\"$in\":[5,{\"$oid\":\"619f97d1d977f089ac559368\"}]}}"
}

On the server side, I've parsed the query with EJSON to try and get it to a state where I can pass it into the db.collection.find() method but the return type is not compatible (I recieve: EJSON.SerilizbleType vs I need: Filter<Document>)

Another thought I had was to stringify the EJSON result and then convert it to JSON through JSON.parse(). If I console.log() the result, I get the following:

{ _id: { '$in': [ 5, '619f97d1d977f089ac559368' ] } }

Passing that into the find() method produces no results.

If I console.log() the parsed text, I receive the following:

{
  _id: { '$in': [ new Int32(5), new ObjectId("619f97d1d977f089ac559368") ] }
}

Which shows that the JSON conversion is losing the type, which is important when constructing the query.

Thoughts on how I may go about this?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
