Converting 15-Character Salesforce IDs to 18 Characters
I spent the past few days baselining the data in a system that one of our Salesforce Orgs will be integrating with. Unfortunately I have to convert our Salesforce record IDs into the 18-character form because this system’s database isn’t set up to handle the case-sensitive 15-character IDs. This is something I used to do frequently as a consultant and I had various scripts in my toolbelt but I went a-searching to see what the ecosystem had created since then. And there are quite a few options! From scripts in various languages to online tools but I found all of them missing key features I needed i.e. To address these gaps I created an NPM package as well as an online ID converter. So you can also benefit from these additional (admittedly small but important to me) benefits.
