This is an extension file that aims to make the mongo shell more magical
It's pretty meager right now. Ideas/suggestions are welcome.
Launch the mongo shell with:
mongo --shell plus.js
$ is now an alias for the ObjectId function:
db.unicorns.find({_id: $('4cd6d7ba9ae3e75d74000005')});
You can also turn on implicit id conversion, via: $.implicit(true), allowing:
//works for find, findOne, update, remove, insert and save
//could be dangerous, if you use strings that =~ [a-fA-F0-9]{24}
db.unicorns.find({_id: '4cd6d7ba9ae3e75d74000005'});
Added ObjectId.isValid() method
When your query specifies a limit, the default 20-document limit will be replaced (for the particular query only) with the specific limit.
Also, you can change the limit by using the limit function: limit(100)
This is largely based on the verboseOutput which will make it in 2.2 (I suspect), but the find output has been improved to show the record and time taken.
`db.unicorns.find().limit(35)`
....
Fetched 35 of 262 records in 2ms via BasicCursor
Added console.log which takes parameters:
//also supports %j for json output
console.log('Unicorn %s killed %d vampires', 'skully', 944);
