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': 'abc', 'price': 10, 'quantity': 10, 'date': new Date('2014-04-04T21:23:13.331Z') },
{ 'item': 'def', 'price': 7.5, 'quantity': 5, 'date': new Date('2015-06-04T05:08:13Z') },
{ 'item': 'def', 'price': 7.5, 'quantity': 10, 'date': new Date('2015-09-10T08:43:00Z') },
{ 'item': 'abc', 'price': 10, 'quantity': 5, 'date': new Date('2016-02-06T20:20:13Z') },
]
db.getCollection('sales').insertMany(sales);
Possible Implementation
We can define global.d.ts for MongoDB db global and transpile the file into js before running.
