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.

Query delimiter lines in playgrounds
Much like the REST Client extension allows you to add delimiters (in their case three or more #) between requests, it would be good if this extension offered something similar so that you can easily run individual queries or sets of queries in files containing multiple. So my playground looked something like below, clicking the play button when the mouse cursor is above the delimiter executes the first statement and when below the second.
use('db1')
db.collection1.find({})//////
use('db2')
db.collection2.find({})1 vote -

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?

It would be great if the VSCode Extension automatically generated boilerplate code (JS, Java, Python, C#, Go) based on the file type.

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.

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.

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",
"myuuid": {
"$binary": {
"base64": "ILGr2eKZSmqkQX1OZsoICQ==",
"subType": "04"
}
}
}I would have expected them to be shown as:
{
"id": "5e58eae46015f74c61dd6af0",
"myuuid": UUID("20b1abd9-e299-4a6a-a441-7d4e66ca0809")
}Robot 3T (for example) does this well. I think it would greatly help to read such values.

We do not have to repeat use('db') every time
After executing use('db') we don't need to include the command with each run, especially when we want to run the selected line.
At present, if I run some selected lines to run from play ground it doesn't works if the lines doesn't includes the use('db') command.

"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.

Set a default connection or auto detect a running MongoDB session
Automatically set up a connection via the MongoDB Extension instead of pasting the connection string manually every time.
Either by

2. Loading default connections, from a place on the system2 votes -
Better Failed to Connect Error Message
Currently, I get Failed to connect: connection <monitor> to X.Y.Z.W:27017 closed. It would be helpful to tell the user why that is or give a hint as to why the problem occurred. I have to keep it in the back of my mind that most of the time the issue is because my IP changed and my atlas doesn't have my ip whitelisted.

Improvements to Terminal Shell (split)
It would be nice that When the VSC extension is added, it creates an entry in the integrated terminal settings (terminal.integrated.automated.windows/mac) like: -
"MongoDB": {
"path": "mongo",
"args": ["$Env:MDBCONNECTIONSTRING"]
}Which I can't currently get to work.
So that when I split a currently connected MongoDB intergrated terminal session, it spawns another mongo session with the same connection parameters at the same level.
Also at the moment $Env:MDBCONNECTIONSTRING only seems to be set when the MongoDB:Launch MongoDB Shell is run, not when a connection is made to the a MongoDB server (connections).
At the moment, if…
