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(); | |
}; |
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 use console.log(new (require('bson').ObjectId)().toString())
