How can I convert a mongdb UUID() to a string?
Solution 1:
According to your own comment, UUID().toString() includes the method name. Your solution includes the quotation marks. To get rid of those, you could use the following:
UUID().toString().split('"')[1]
Explanation:
-
UUID().toString()will give a string containingUUID("00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000"). - The
split('"')will split the string, dividing by the quotation marks, into an array, which is['UUID(', '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000', ')']. -
[1]selects the second element from that array, which is your UUID as a string.
