MongoDB for VS Code
MongoDB for VS Code lets you easily work with MongoDB directly from your VS Code environment. Using the MongoDB extension, you can:
- Connect to a MongoDB instance or cluster
- Navigate your databases and collections
- Prototype queries and aggregations
You can install the MongoDB extension from inside of VS Code via the VS Code Extension Marketplace. Help us improve the MongoDB for VS Code by posting your ideas and suggestions for improvements.

Write playground as TypeScript file
Feature Request
It would be nice to write MongoDB playground in Typescript, then we will have design time validation and good suggestions in IDE.
Detailed Description
It would be awesome to have types for MongoDB interfaces and the ability to import your own types.
…import {Sale} from './types'; use('mongodbVSCodePlaygroundDB'); const sales: Sale[] = [ { 'item': 'abc', 'price': 10, 'quantity': 2, 'date': new Date('2014-03-01T08:00:00Z') }, { 'item': 'jkl', 'price': 20, 'quantity': 1, 'date': new Date('2014-03-01T09:00:00Z') }, { 'item': 'xyz', 'price': 5, 'quantity': 10, 'date': new Date('2014-03-15T09:00:00Z') }, { 'item': 'xyz', 'price': 5, 'quantity': 20, 'date': new Date('2014-04-04T11:21:39.736Z') }, { 'item':9 votes -
Conditional confirmation prompt
I want to configure which connection should have a confirmation prompt before running a playground command. For ex., no prompt for the development database, yes prompt for the production database.

Option to disable comments for aggregation stages
Detailed Description
Option to disable comments for aggregation stages by default. I would assume that link to documentation website will make more sense, considering complexity of aggregation stage use cases. And even that should be optional.
Context
I run a lot of quick aggregations to get data insights, comments are just wasting 50% of playground's screen space and not too helpful for me.

Use Ctr-Enter to execute instuction where the cursor is.
Currently, is kind of tedius to execute a targeted line. Other editors accept Ctl-Enter to execute the line, which is very convenient.

Display the time it took for queries
Similar to any other MongoDB tool, I would like to know how much it took me to run the specific query/count and so on.
It would be nice to also have a timer that indicate how much time it been running for (when the query taking too much time).4 votes -
Change Object ID display format from '{$oid: 'xxxx'}' to ObjectId('xxxxx')
It just uses only 1 line instead 3 lines. And we can copy it directly.

New Playground Result tab for each query
When two playgrounds are run at once (e.g. two aggregations), the result of one overwrites the result of the other rather than opening a new 'Playground Result' tab.
The desired behaviour is for a new Playground Result tab to be opened per run (preferably numbered 'Playground Result 1', 'Playground Result 2', etc.

Print Logs As They Happen, Not At End of Script
Hi,
When I add a
printline in mongosh, that line is executed as it is reached. For example, if I add it within a loop, it prints for every iteration in a loop. However, in a VS Code Playground, it only prints when the Playground has finished executing.I'd like to request that the VS Code extension allows for
printtroubleshooting anywhere within a Playground as it is executed, not just at the end.3 votes -
Reuse db connection
It's much slower than other mongodb clients like Robo 3t every time I run a query, it seems that it create a new connection to the database and then executes the query. Is there any way to keep and reuse an existed connection so that to speed up the query executions?

Connection based "theming"
Add the ability to color code playground tab and/or editor's background color in the playground based on the connection that is active.
Eg: default background for my localhost connection and a more colorful one for staging environment or production ones even.

ability to run to a specified aggregation stage and see output
Essentially the same as https://mongoplayground.net/
if you add multiple aggregation stages you can pick which one you want to run up to, and inspect the output.
This makes it dramatically easier to tweak larger pipelines without having to comment further stages out.

Intellisense for playground code
Hovering over getCollection and other supported methods doesn't show any intellisense. This would save us time from having to go to the docs and looking that method up. Also the sort method which I think its a normal JavaScript method doesn't show intellisense inside playground so please add some intellisense.

Opening Playground file from other folders out of workspace, with Recents list
Normally I don't store playground files within my VS Code project folder (which often is a Git repository).
I could add the files to .gitignore, but it would be much more convenience if the Playgrounds pane has options to open file from another folder, and to open recent files too.1 vote -

Reactive document opened by ID for editing
I really want to be able to open a document by ID so I can fix data created during development, but that would be on page 1000 if browsing.

Pin Connection to Playground
I would like to be able to switch across playgrounds that are contextually associated with different connections without having switch connections globally.
So, I connect one playground with one connection, I open another playground for another connection. When I switch back to the first playground I don't have to click through to the first connection as the playground is still associated with it.
Likewise, when I switch to the second playground, it's already/still connected to the second connection.

Improve Performance of Result Display - Stream Results to JSON Display
It looks like currently the playground results don't appear until the full set is collected from the server. This is extremely slow sometimes depending on the latency to the cluster and document size.
As soon as you have one document returned in the cursor, you can start showing the data in the results panel write the JSON streaming fashion as each document is deserialized.1 vote
