Get the _id of inserted document in Mongo database in NodeJS
I use NodeJS to insert documents in MongoDB. Using collection.insert I can insert a document into database like in this code:
// ...
collection.insert(objectToInsert, function(err){
if (err) return;
// Object inserted successfully.
var objectId; // = ???
});
// ...
How can I get the _id of inserted object?
Is there any way to get the _id without getting latest object inserted _id?
Supposing that in same time a lot of people access the database, I can't be sure that the latest id is the id of object inserted.

There is a second parameter for the callback for collection.insert that will return the doc or docs inserted, which should have _ids.
Try:
collection.insert(objectToInsert, function(err,docsInserted){
console.log(docsInserted);
});
and check the console to see what I mean.

Callback actually returns array of documents inserted. So, if you have inserted a single document then you can access the inserted record as below. collection.insert({name:"David", title:"About MongoDB"}, function(err, records){ console.log("Record added as "+records[0]._id); }); Ref: mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/markdown-docs/insert.html

A shorter way than using second parameter for the callback of collection.insert would be using objectToInsert._id that returns the _id (inside of the callback function, supposing it was a successful operation).
The Mongo driver for NodeJS appends the _id field to the original object reference, so it's easy to get the inserted id using the original object:
collection.insert(objectToInsert, function(err){
if (err) return;
// Object inserted successfully.
var objectId = objectToInsert._id; // this will return the id of object inserted
});

I actually did a console.log() for the second parameter in the callback function for insert. There is actually a lot of information returned apart from the inserted object itself. So the code below explains how you can access it's id.
collection.insert(objToInsert, function (err, result){
if(err)console.log(err);
else {
console.log(result["ops"][0]["_id"]);
// The above statement will output the id of the
// inserted object
}
});

As ktretyak said, to get inserted document's ID best way is to use insertedId property on result object. In my case result._id didn't work so I had to use following:
db.collection("collection-name")
.insertOne(document)
.then(result => {
console.log(result.insertedId);
})
.catch(err => {
// handle error
});
It's the same thing if you use callbacks.

Mongo sends the complete document as a callbackobject so you can simply get it from there only.
for example
collection.save(function(err,room){
var newRoomId = room._id;
});

Could you provide a code example? Where does this result object come from?
– JSideris
Sep 20 '16 at 22:00
@JSideris, as you can see in the specification method insertOne(), this method accepts three parameters(doc, options, callback). The third parameter - a callback, which takes two parameters(error, result). Andresult- this is what you are looking for.

@JSideris, sample code for getting insertedId.
db.collection(COLLECTION).insertOne(data, (err, result) => {
if (err)
return err;
else
return result.insertedId;
});

if you want to take "_id" use simpley

Your code is wrong, where you say var objectId = objectToInsert._id; you meant to say var objectId = objectInserted._id;

@AndyLorenz What isobjectInserted? I guess you're missing exactly the point of this answer: the Mongo driver appends the_idfield to the original object. I edited the answer to useobjectToInserteverywhere. Hope the things are clearer now. :)

Very insightful thank you. Couldn't find this information anywhere else since the change in callback parameters.

@BradHein You're welcome! Probably the MongoDB driver modifies the object reference, so it gets modified here too. :)

I actually did a console.log() for the second parameter in the callback function for insert. There is actually a lot of information returned apart from the inserted object itself. So the code below explains how you can access it's id.
collection.insert(objToInsert, function (err, result){
if(err)console.log(err);
else {
console.log(result["ops"][0]["_id"]);
// The above statement will output the id of the
// inserted object
}
});

As ktretyak said, to get inserted document's ID best way is to use insertedId property on result object. In my case result._id didn't work so I had to use following:
db.collection("collection-name")
.insertOne(document)
.then(result => {
console.log(result.insertedId);
})
.catch(err => {
// handle error
});
It's the same thing if you use callbacks.

Mongo sends the complete document as a callbackobject so you can simply get it from there only.
for example
collection.save(function(err,room){
var newRoomId = room._id;
});

Could you provide a code example? Where does this result object come from?

@JSideris, as you can see in the specification method insertOne(), this method accepts three parameters(doc, options, callback). The third parameter - a callback, which takes two parameters(error, result). Andresult- this is what you are looking for.

@JSideris, sample code for getting insertedId.
db.collection(COLLECTION).insertOne(data, (err, result) => {
if (err)
return err;
else
return result.insertedId;

if you want to take "_id" use simpley
