Get post id shortcode

I’m new at this.

I need a shortcode that returns the post id of the post in which the shortcode is inserted.

If someone could provide that it would open the doors of understanding for me 🙂

Much appreciated!

Place the below code to your themes functions.php or inside your plugin and the [return_post_id] shortcode will print the post ID.

add_shortcode( 'return_post_id', 'the_dramatist_return_post_id' );

function the_dramatist_return_post_id() {
    return get_the_ID();
}

Hope that helps.
