What is bson-objectid?

The bson-objectid npm package is a utility for generating and working with BSON ObjectIDs, which are commonly used as unique identifiers in MongoDB. This package allows you to create new ObjectIDs, convert them to strings, and parse them from strings.

What are bson-objectid's main functionalities?

Generate a new ObjectID

This feature allows you to generate a new BSON ObjectID. The generated ID is a 12-byte identifier that is unique and can be used as a primary key in MongoDB.

const ObjectId = require('bson-objectid');
const id = new ObjectId();
console.log(id.toString());

Convert ObjectID to string

This feature allows you to convert a BSON ObjectID to its string representation. This is useful for storing or transmitting the ID as a string.

const ObjectId = require('bson-objectid');
const id = new ObjectId();
const idString = id.toString();
console.log(idString);

Parse ObjectID from string

This feature allows you to parse a string representation of an ObjectID back into a BSON ObjectID. This is useful for converting IDs received as strings back into their original ObjectID format.

const ObjectId = require('bson-objectid');
const idString = '507f1f77bcf86cd799439011';
const id = ObjectId(idString);
console.log(id);
