I am using the mgo MongoDB driver for Golang.
Can I get the last ObjectId
after inserting a new object?
Or should I create _id
manually with bson.NewObjectId
?

With mongodb, and mgo
, you are often expected to generate the _id
-value yourself using bson.NewObjectId
.
The MongoDB manual states:
If the document does not specify an _id field, then MongoDB will add the _id field and assign a unique ObjectId for the document before inserting. Most drivers create an ObjectId and insert the _id field, but the mongod will create and populate the _id if the driver or application does not.
Simply, creating the _id yourself is the way to go!
