Starting in version 1.22, MongoDB Compass contains an embedded shell, mongosh. mongosh is a JavaScript environment for interacting with MongoDB deployments. You can use mongosh to test queries and operations in your database.
To open the embedded mongosh,you can either:
Click >_ on the right of your deployment name in the Connections Sidebar.
Click >_Open MongoDB shell in the top right of any tab connected to a MongoDB deployment.
By default, mongosh, connects to the test database. To use a different database, run the following command in mongosh:
To run an operation in the embedded MongoDB Shell, type the operation into the shell and press Enter.
The following example runs a db.collection.find() operation:
db.employees.find( { "last_name": "Smith" } )To write an operation that spans multiple lines in the embedded mongosh, begin with the first line, then press Shift + Enter to move to the next line of code.
When you are finished writing your operation, press Enter to run it.
The following multi-line example runs the $match stage in an aggregation pipeline:
db.employees.aggregate( [ { $match: { "last_name": "Smith" } } ] ) You can disable the embedded MongoDB shell in Compass to avoid running unauthorized commands on mongosh.
To disable the embedded MongoDB shell:
Compass opens a dialog box where you configure your MongoDB Compass settings.
If you select Set Read-Only Mode, Compass automatically unchecks the Enable MongoDB Shell setting.
