var mongoObjectId = function () { | |
var timestamp = (new Date().getTime() / 1000 | 0).toString(16); | |
return timestamp + 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[x]/g, function() { | |
return (Math.random() * 16 | 0).toString(16); | |
}).toLowerCase(); | |
}; |
@solenoid what about the collision of this random id generation method?
Perfect, thanks!!
simple and quick solution. thanks
here is the function in coffee script:
mongoObjectId: () ->
timestamp = ((new Date).getTime() / 1000 | 0).toString(16)
timestamp + 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[x]/g, ->
(Math.random() * 16 | 0).toString 16
).toLowerCase()
It saved my life. lol
Thanks dude!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot, it was very useful!
I made a Golang version for a project
func mongoObjectId() string {
ts := time.Now().UnixMilli() / 1000
id := strconv.FormatInt(ts, 16)
for i := 0; i < 16; i++ {
id += fmt.Sprintf("%x", rand.Intn(16))
}
return id
}
Impl in rust:
use chrono::Utc;
use rand::Rng;
use std::fmt;
fn mongo_object_id() -> String {
let ts = Utc::now().timestamp_millis() / 1000;
let mut id = format!("{:x}", ts);
for _ in 0..16 {
let random_digit = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(0..16);
id.push_str(&format!("{:x}", random_digit));
}
id
}
fn main() {
let object_id = mongo_object_id();
println!("{}", object_id);
}
// [dependencies]
// chrono = "0.4"
// rand = "0.8"
A simple python implementation
import time
import random
def mongo_object_id():
timestamp = hex(int(time.time()))[2:]
rest = ''.join([random.choice('0123456789abcdef') for _ in range(16)])
return (timestamp + rest).lower()

I appreciate that you shared this. It is a simple, logical function and integrates nicely with my Express backend.
