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.

  1. Show UUID fields as UUID in document editor

    I have a collection with documents containing UUID fields (standard, not legacy). When I browse those documents in the extension, they are shown like this:

    {
    "id": "5e58eae46015f74c61dd6af0",
    "my
    uuid": {
    "$binary": {
    "base64": "ILGr2eKZSmqkQX1OZsoICQ==",
    "subType": "04"
    }
    }
    }

    I would have expected them to be shown as:

    {
    "id": "5e58eae46015f74c61dd6af0",
    "my
    uuid": UUID("20b1abd9-e299-4a6a-a441-7d4e66ca0809")
    }

    Robot 3T (for example) does this well. I think it would greatly help to read such values.

  2. Open documents in the same tab

    Every time I want to check a doc, It opens it in a new tab Which makes it difficult to navigate across the workspace. I would recommend open docs in the same tab and maybe device some mechanism to open the docs in a new tab if the user wants to compare two or more of them.

  3. "Table View" of Documents

    As some others tools have, a way to view all documents from a collection in a table format with columns and lines. An 'click on header for sort' is well desirable.

  4. Tree collapse/expand in the connections panel

    After opening a few options of the tree sometimes I want to collapse all and explore a completely different path, having the option to expand/collapse all would be neat!

  5. filter by database/collection name

    would be nice to be able to filter by database/collection name in the connections panel, similar to what is found in MongoDB Compass.

  7. show last 'n' entires

    An option to show last 'n' records. Currently, we have an option to see 10 at a time and then click on 'show more' for every 10 records which is tedious. An option to show last n would help a lot.

  9. List the documents in reverse order

    Usulally I need to examine the last created document but in Mongo DB for VS Code in Connections braouser they are presented in ascending order (according to default index "_id : 1).
    Please add option for the the documents to be listed in the descending order!
