node-red-contrib-objectid

This Node-Red node is to create an Object-Id for mongodb write operations from JSON inputs.

The selected property in msg.payload or in Array-Objects will be set to a BSON-Object-Id, you can also inject a 24 hex characters and the node creates a valid Object-Id property from it or raise an error if it is not valid.

For example:

msg.payload._id = "572dbc06f307c8682045c55c"

or

msg.payload.uuid = "572dbc06f307c8682045c55c"

If the target property is not to find or empty, then a random Object-Id is created.
