which field you want to increment – Basilin Joe Jan 04 '16 at 10:01
add new field and increment. – Thilina Sampath Jan 04 '16 at 10:04
[check this StackOverflow example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23199482/create-unique-autoincrement-field-with-mongoose) or use [mongoose-auto-increment](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongoose-auto-increment) – Basilin Joe Jan 04 '16 at 12:36
but this isn't work for me. – Thilina Sampath Jan 04 '16 at 12:48
did you tried using mongoose-auto-increment? – Basilin Joe Jan 04 '16 at 13:04
The big question is: why do you need this? There is a unique identifier in each mongo document, `_id`. You can most likely use this for whatever it is that you are trying to do. – Joost Vunderink Jan 04 '16 at 20:15
yes @CodeBean but not working. – Thilina Sampath Jan 05 '16 at 03:32
@Joost Vunderink I don't know how to do this. – Thilina Sampath Jan 05 '16 at 03:32
Try creating a user, retrieving it, then `console.log(user._id);`. – Joost Vunderink Jan 05 '16 at 06:16
console.log(user._id); anser is 56826787f6c830381416572e. – Thilina Sampath Jan 05 '16 at 07:54
