mongo-table-view

#Overview

This module adds a .table() function to the mongo cursor in the shell, giving a layout much like MySQL's table view:

> db.foo.insert({
    type: 'demoDocument',
    metadata: { sub: 'document', two: 'fields'},
    arrayField: [1,2,'string']
})
> db.foo.insert({
    type: 'demoDocument2',
    metadata: { sub: 'doc', two: 'xx'},
    arrayField: [0, 2],
    other: 'A very long string. It goes on and on and on and on and on and on.......'
})

Or, if you prefer the ascii style:

The method works on any type of cursor, so you can still add any sorting, skipping, or limiting you need to.

Note: to prevent the table from getting exceedingly wide, field widths are capped, as seen above. Overflow is wrapped.

#Installation

1. Setup

• In POSIX environments, run make

• In WinX environments, please add mongorc.js to your MongoDB installation folder (if it doesn't exist) and copy the contents of index.js into it, amending setting the __CURDIR global to the full path of this mongo-table-view folder.

2. Next time you enter the mongo shell, the .table() method will be available on all cursors.
