Get a list Id using javascript?

Question

I'm trying to trigger the NewForm.aspx of a list by clicking on a link. I would like to known how to get a list ID using JavaScript (Or jQuery)? (SP2010) I've already tried :

var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();

web contains an empty object so I cannot use it. why ?

Is SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList() available in 2010? — Danny '365CSI' Engelman, Nov 27 '15 at 13:31

Should be some thing like following

var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Name of the List');
context.load(list, 'Id');

In the success, try

var listId = list.get_id();

Update for web is undefined

Run code under ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded()

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getListId, "sp.js");
var list;

function getListId() {
    var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var web = context.get_web();
    list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Name of the List');
    context.load(list, 'Id');

    context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, success), Function.createDelegate(this, error));

}


function success() {
    listId = list.get_id();
    console.log(listId);
}

function error(sender, args) {
    alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + 
        '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

As of SP2010, you can find the list id in _spPageContextInfo.pageListId. For a great example of its usage, you may want to have a look at http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/a/101015/63990. – Vitali Climenco Jan 31 '17 at 09:29
@Vitali Climenco , I think your comment should be listed as an answer so it's more visible. This is by far the best solution since SharePoint has already made it available as a variable. I almost missed this because I had to expand the comments to see it! – Fütemire Apr 13 '17 at 23:01

I was looking for this myself.

In some cases, you should be able to use the SP object for this.

Thought it may come in handy in case someone else bumps into this post.

SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList()

As per @VitaliClimenco's comment, the list id is stored in the global javascript object _spPageContextInfo : _spPageContextInfo.pageListId.
