ID Generation

low-json-db can automatically generate unique IDs for your documents. You control the behavior through collection options.

Options

const users = db.collection({
  name: 'users',
  autoId: true,          // default is false
  idField: '_id',        // default
  idType: 'auto'         // 'auto' | 'uuid' | 'objectid'
});

ID Types

rebuildId()

After importing data or manually editing documents you can recalculate the next auto-increment value:

users.rebuildId();
await users.rebuildIdAsync();
