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": "....." } ]

    Hi all! v1.12.0 and above includes a new mdb.presetConnections configuration for settings.json. It's a simple configuration in form: "mdb.presetConnections": [ { "name": "Preset Connection", "connectionString": "mongodb://localhost:27017" } ] We recommend updating to the latest version of the extension and trying this out! Let us know if you run into any issues.

    Agree with Russell. Faced the same issue, a lot of other extensions provides this ability, would be great if mongodb extensions will do the same

    This is a critical make or break feature and is not only valuable for devcontainers, but also codespaces which is based on devcontainers. The ability to have a complete dev environment including tool configuration at the click of a button is extremely valueable
