mongo-favs

A shell launcher for MongoDB that loads favorites from Compass.

Favorites are loaded from Compass' connections directory on the filesystem and are displayed with the same color they are displayed in Compass.

Requirements

• mongo shell in $PATH
• Compass 1.20 or newer
• Node.js >= 12

Installation

$ npm install -g mongo-favs

Things that don't work

• Passwords. For obvious security reasons, Compass does not store passwords in clear text on the filesystem and uses keychain/keyring instead. For this reason, for connections that need a password you'll have to fill it in manually – or copy paste from your password manager.
