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.

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.

Linting/Validation support for query language
It would be nice if MongoDB for VS Code had a built-in functionality to verify query syntax, best practices, etc.
Conceptually, this would work similarly to how ESLINT works for JavaScript.

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.

"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.

Kerberos Authentication for VSCode
Hi,
All our databases are secured using Kerberos authenticatoin. I do not see Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication option for this plugin. Looking forward to see this added to the plugin so that we can offer this to our developers. Compass supports Kerberos authentication so it should be an easy port to this plugin. I hope :)
Thanks

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.

Create/Edit App Services Functions from VS Code
Once connected to an Atlas database, if there are applications in App Services, the ability to select an application and create or edit Functions inside the MongoDB for VS Code extension would be really cool!

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.

predefined connections array on settings, this helps on devcontainer setups alot
sqltools is already using similar idea to handle connections
"sqltools.connections": [
{
"name": "Container database",
"driver": "MariaDB",
"server": "localhost",
"previewLimit": 50,
"port": 3306,
"database": "....",
"username": ".....",
"password": "....."

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!

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.

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.

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
