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. 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?

  3. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. Specify default database in Advanced Connection Settings form

    The Create New Connection using the Advanced Connection Settings form does not provide a place to specify a default database. I'm specifically interested in this so I like running selected lines and it'd be a way to not include 'use(<db>)' with every query.

  18. 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.

  20. Naming convention of documents when viewing in VSCode

    The MongoDB extension for VSCode has given me a really good development experience by simply using my DB from either local machine or from Atlas, without going out of the editor.

    But one thing we can have, as an improvement, is to give some sort of ability that the documents of a MongoDB collection can be named based on a field chosen when viewing it via extension.

    Currently, for sake of uniqueness, it uses _id as representation name, which may sometimes feel confusing while developing with MongoDB.

    I will really love to have something of sorts implemented in VS Code.
