Hey there,

I'm currently using your module like so:

    var bsonObjectid = require('bson-objectid');
    var CRC32 = require('crc-32')

    var MySchemaId = bsonObjectid().str
    var sales_order_id = CRC32.str(MySchemaId)

But I'm noticing sometimes the sales_order_id is negative. Is there a way to get the CRC32 module to only output unique positive values?

Thanks so much,
Thomas

For performance reasons we default to using signed integers. However, if you need an unsigned integer, the best way is to convert using the unsigned right shift operator:

CRC32.str(MySchemaId) >>> 0
