  1. copy query to shell

    Copy Find or Aggregation Pipeline queries directly to embedded shell. I realize you can export the query then paste it in the shell, but a nice helper would be to click a button which tells the shell to use the current collection and pastes a well-formatted query from the Documents, Schema, or Aggregation tabs of Compass directly into the shell (without executing). At least a copy to clipboard (shell format as default) button.

  2. Indentation/newlines for Aggregation: Export to Language/PHP

    I tried to use the the aggregation pipeline feature Export to Language, for PHP. The pipeline was quite complex, so I was surprised when I copied it into PHP Storm that the entire pipeline was on a single line, making it quite hard to read. PHP Storm will not add newlines for you when you request Code Reformatting, so the only way to make it readable was to add the newlines manually before reformatting, which is time confusing and error prone.

    IMO it would be preferable if the pipeline was exported with appropriate use of newlines and indentation.

  3. Allow changing font in document output

    Current hardcoded choice of fonts: "Source Code Pro", Menlo, monospace doesn't suit me. They first two aren't installed on my computer, so the result is unreadable output using the default "Courier New" font. I want to be able to set my own font family and font size for document output.

  4. Explain Plan and query to work on all valid queries -- if an official driver works the Compass should be able to help debugging

    Mongo Compass Explain Plan cannot work on queries which are using common Java available syntax. Having no way to use Explain Plan on valid queries, without modifying the query, should be a feature.

    { "_id" : { "$in": [{ "$binary" : "6Uk1UVZWl+krPObxzA3wtg==", "$type" : "03" },{ "$binary" : "60Xp1sJ9nMiT6cPy3GA1ig==", "$type" : "03" }] } }
    

    should be a valid query in Mongo Compass since it is in Java AND the following error which is returned from both query area and Mongo Compass Explain Plan should not occur for such a query:

    cannot nest $ under $in
    

    One should NOT have…

  5. Possibility to have _id field with new ObjectId added to each array element automatically

    Hi,

    I thought it would be a good idea to have the option to have an array automatically add an _id field with new ObjectId per element if its an array of object.

    In our use cases, we mostly update/delete items by their _id.

    In the case where we want to do a bulk $push or something similar, there are currently no way of generating the _id's except looping through our array and generating the ids beforehand which is not ideal.

    Another option would be to be able to use an update operator to generate a new ObjectId.

    For example:

  6. Screen reader support

    Hello,

    Visually impaired users rely on a screenreader to have information read by a speech synthesizer or displayed on a braille display. Popular screen readers are VoiceOver on Mac OS as well as JAWS and NVDA on Windows or Orca on Linux Desktop.
    Currently, a screen reader isn't able to work properly with MongoDB Compass.

  7. Show a wait spinner while Explain Plan is working

    When explain plan in Compass takes a long time to analyze, it appears as though nothing is happening and it looks broken.

  8. Recognize $HOME/.ssh/config file in SSH bastion / jump box

    Configured hostnames are not read from the file causing the user to have to re-input the same jumpbox information per connection.

    The work around is to define jumpbox destinations on the user's /etc/hosts file but preference is to have Compass respect the default SSH config file.

  9. Need "Inactive" sessions "Terminated" connected via Compass to MongoDB

    Need "Inactive" sessions "Terminated" which have been connected via Compass to MongoDB and idle for more than x minutes. This feature is not full available. As per MongoDB support maxIdleTimeMS -- "Compass supports that option but please note that this won't close the session, will only collect idle connections in the pool and wouldn't really be noticed on the user end.
    For you to be aware, this request was already discussed internally as a missing option so it would be good if you can provide some additional feedback in our official website for our Product managers to consider."

  10. export sorted data

    When clicking export collection button, the sort option specified should be copied to "Export query with filters"

    Examples:

    db.holidays.find (
    {Date: {eq: '2022-04-08'}
    ).sort ({System : 1})

    or even make this part editable, so we can add sort option

  11. Remember collection view mode selected or add an option to save default

    Currently, after you switch to table mode in a collections tab, compass won't remember that option when you open a new collection tab. Being table mode user 99% of the time, it would be really useful to remember last mode selected when opening a new tab, or be able to define the default view mode

  12. Touching a collection on the left hand side, wipes out your work in aggregations with no warning

    Touching a collection on the left hand side, wipes out your work in aggregations with no warning

    When using aggregations and you are busy with your pipeline(s)

    If you left click on any of the collections on the left panel, 

    It wipes out your work on the aggregations (no warnings at all)

    [Yet when we paste in an exported version of the pipeline it gives a warning]

    This makes it hard to teach people how to use aggregations, as they have to treat the left hand panel like a land mine (and all they wanted to do was to look…

  13. Mongo to recognize arrays during import

    Mongo is unable to recognize arrays, even from it's own exported documents that are manually formatted as arrays. The options available are not compatible with complicated datasets with more than one column that contain arrays. This should be standard.

  16. Add a code editor to save and load MongoDB scripts with MongoDB Compass

    For now, there is only a shell but why not have an editor with a MongoDB file extension so we can save and load MongoDB scripts like with MySQL Workbench?

  17. Enable toggling for boolean properties

    The annoying thing for me is my web applications are heaviley dependant on Database View content.

    in MongoDB Compass it quickly becomes a time waste to manually click a boolean property and change "false" to "true".

    Please add a small toggle box button next to Boolean values.

    Thanks, Carl.

  18. Possibility to set variables used in pipeline stages

    Hi !
    It would be really handfull to have the possibility to use variables in the pipeline stages:

    var userId = ObjectId("5f61dfadc1e8960001700da8'")
    {
    $match : {user.id : userId}
    }

    for complex queries, it would avoid having to modify the id at each stages.
    Thanks !

  19. aggregation pipeline verification before deleting

    When opening a saved pipeline - the "open" button is adjacent to the bin (cancel) button and clicking on the bin deletes the pipeline without a chance to regret.
