Extract (and visualize) schema from Mongo database, including foreign keys. Output is simple json file or html with dagre/d3.js diagram (depending on command line options).
npm -g install extract-mongo-schemaUsage:
extract-mongo-schema -d connection_string -o schema.json -f json
-u, --authSource Database for authentication. Example: "admin".
-d, --database Database connection string. Example: "mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor".
-o, --output Output file
-f, --format Output file format. Can be "json", "html-diagram" or "xlsx". Default is "json".
-i, --inputJson Input JSON file, to be used instead of --database. NOTE: this will ignore the remainder of input params and use a previously generated JSON file to generate the diagram.
-c, --collection Comma separated list of collections to analyze. Example: "collection1,collection2".
-a, --array Comma separated list of types of arrays to analyze. Example: "Uint8Array,ArrayBuffer,Array".
-r, --raw Shows the exact list of types with frequency instead of the most frequent type only.
-l, --limit Number of records to parse to get the schema, default is 100.
-n, --dont-follow-fk Don't follow specified foreign key. Can be simply "fieldName" (all collections) or "collectionName:fieldName" (only for given collection).
-s, --include-system string Analyzes system collections as well.
Extract schema into json
extract-mongo-schema -d "mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor" -o schema.json
Extract schema into html
extract-mongo-schema -d "mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor" -o schema.html -f html-diagram
Extract schema into xlsx
extract-mongo-schema -d "mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor" -o schema.xlsx -f xlsx
Convert json to html
extract-mongo-schema -i schema.json -o schema.html -f html-diagram
Extract specific collections in raw format and analyze Array items
extract-mongo-schema -d "mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor" -o schema.json -c "collection1,collection2,collection3" -a "Array" -r
Open html in your browser and you'll see rendered ER diagram.
Ignore some foreign keys
Use -n switch to prevent detecting and drawing links for specified fields. You can specify simply fieldName (that applies to all collections) or collectionName:fieldName (foreign key is ignored only in given collection).
Example:
extract-mongo-schema -d "mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor" -o schema.html -f html-diagram -n createdBy -n users:modifiedBy
(in this example: any foreign key named "createdBy" will be ignored. Also "modifiedBy" but only in users collection)
