How can I use a C++ unordered_set for a custom class?

How can I store objects of a class in an unordered_set? My program needs to frequently check if an object exists in this unordered_set and if it does, then do some update on that object.

I have looked up online on how to use unordered_set, but sadly most tutorials are about using it on int or string types. But how can I use it on a class? How can I define a hash function to make the node_id in the following example the key of the unordered_set?

#include <iostream>#include <unordered_set>using namespace std;// How can I define a hash function that makes 'node' use 'node_id' as key?    struct node{    string node_id;    double value;    node(string id, double val) : node_id(id), value(val) {}};int main(){    unordered_set<node> set;    set.insert(node("1001", 100));    if(set.find("1001") != set.end()) cout << "1001 found"<< endl;}
