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.

    Eg: default background for my localhost connection and a more colorful one for staging environment or production ones even.

  9. 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.

  11. 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. 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
    1. detecting a running mongo session
    2. Loading default connections, from a place on the system

  13. 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.

  17. Script a schema

    In schema explorer, right click a collection Schema, and have the option to "Generate Script". This would generate a js file such as:

    var Comments = new Schema({
    title : String
    , body : String
    , date : Date
    });

    Alternatively or additionally, you could click the collection, and "Generate Script" and it would generate a script for creating the schema AND indexes. It would also be helpful to be able to perform this at the database level, which would generate the script for every collection in the database.

  20. Please refer to the design pattern and features of database plugin in IDEA

    Please support a query console where we can edit and store some MongoDB SQL for query, and It'd better to execute the statements in the query console and get the result in the tab at the bottom.
