Generate Unique Number in JavaScript

Here is the code that can generate a unique number in JavaScript.

function uniqueNumber() {
    var date = Date.now();
   
    if (date <= uniqueNumber.previous) {
        date = ++uniqueNumber.previous;
    } else {
        uniqueNumber.previous = date;
    }

    return date;
}

uniqueNumber.previous = 0;

function ID(){
  return uniqueNumber();
};

The ID() function will return a unique number every time you call.

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:
     [This is not a link](http://example.com)

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks:

Here is some inline `code`.
