mongodb:query:find
This command uses the mongo command-line interface to execute a MongoDB shell command. The command is executed within the context of a specified MongoDB database.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the command:
-
mongo: It is the command to run the MongoDB shell. -
--eval '<command>': This option allows you to specify a JavaScript command to be executed by the MongoDB shell. In this case, the command being executed is enclosed within single quotes and contains two placeholders (${collection}and${json_query}). -
db.${collection}.find(${json_query}): This is the JavaScript command being executed. It performs a database query using thefind()method on a specific collection. The values of${collection}and${json_query}are replaced with actual values at runtime.
-
${collection}is a placeholder for the name of the collection you want to query. For example, if${collection}is replaced with"users", it will search for documents in theuserscollection. -
${json_query}is a placeholder for a JSON document that specifies the query criteria. It is passed to thefind()method as an argument. For example, if${json_query}is replaced with"{ name: 'John' }", it will search for documents where thenamefield is equal to"John".
Overall, this command allows you to execute a MongoDB query from the command line by providing the collection and query criteria as arguments.
