  1. QoL: Rename the Windows shortcut from MongoDBCompass to MongoDB Compass

    I often search Compass (without MongoDB) on Windows Search and it does not show up because its written as MongoDBCompass instead of MongoDB Compass.
    It would be a nice QoL improvement.

  3. Feature Request: Add simplified parallel insertion command syntax

    I want to have a (maybe per server) setting dialog where I can enter a custom JS function that returns any of the mongoDB supported datatypes for the primary key (_id or id - usually String, ObjectId or NumberLong) and is then used everytime I insert a new document in mongoDB compasst.

    Context

    I was testing deduplication functionality I implemented in my app and I had to repeat the process several times. As my IDs were UUIDv4 strings, I needed extra steps after duplicating the documents with the duplicate button on the document in the preview list because otherwise the…

  4. allow updating of data via "add data", by importing an updated file

    Right now if you export data, modify it, then try to import it, it will throw an error because the ID already exists. I want to update all those documents, not create new ones.

  5. Export data from a query should limit fields based on Projection

    When exporting data from a query in MongoDB Compass, only check the fields that are in the Projection section. Don't default to all the fields when exporting.

  6. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. 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:

  10. Have the Export Colelction feature list all collection fields by default

    The current feature lists the fields from a sample of documents which may miss some fields. Although it is specified in a tooltip, this is quite counter-intuitive in a NoSQL database which is all about document diversity.

    When a collection has upwards to 100+ possible fields it becomes quite tedious to figure out which ones are missing from the sample data.

    I would like for MongoDB Compass to find the complete list of possible fields for a selected collection and list them all out be default.

  11. Allow following a referenced ObjectID to the associated document

    I have documents that reference other documents in other collections using the ObjectId. It would be really helpful if I could follow these references in Compass to the associated document.

    For example, if I find a specific document by using the standard Filter/Find mechanism in Compass. From there I see that some of the fields in a given document reference another ObjectID (potentially in a different collection)

    It would be nice to have an available action (maybe an action icon?) that would take me to the related document.

    Currently I have to copy the desired object ID, switch to the…

  12. 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.

  16. 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."

  18. Display collection name and namespace on separate lines

    If you have a longish DB/namespace name, the labels on the tabs become pretty useless, as all they say is "Documents (verylongdbnamewhichiknowalready)" and there's no room for the name of the collection.

    This forces me to navigate through tabs to find the collection I was querying.
    I feel that the "Documents" or whatever main label is on the tabs can be communicated via the tab icon only.

    The name of the namespace could either be hidden entirely and shown only on the tab body, or shown on a separate line from the collection name.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
