nu_plugin_mongo

A nushell plugin to interactive with mongodb.

Sometimes I want to explore mongodb data, but I don't want to open mongo shell or python to query mongodb data.

I want to have more lite weight tool to explore data. So here is the plugin.

Demo

Note

  • All I want to do is query and explore data, so the plugin includes query commands only.
  • You might note that the command prefix is mongoc, not mongo. Because I don't want to make the name conflict with official lagacy mongo cli.

Usage

  1. First, you need to have latest nushell installed(Of cause it's a nushell plugin).
  2. Then you can install from cargo
cargo install nu_plugin_mongo
  1. Add and use the plugin: plugin add <nu_plugin_mongo_path>; plugin use mongo
  2. Then you will gain some mongoc commands to play with.
