Is there a way to list collections with mongoskin?

Question

I already have an established database connection. I need to list the names of the collections in the database. Is it possible?

Answer 1

db.collectionNames(function(err, collectionArrayResult) {
    //Now do something with collectionArrayResult
});

The result is an array of objects with a 'name' property, like this:

[
   { name: '<dbName>.<collectionName>' },
   ...
]

Careful though - <dbName>.system.indexes will be returned too.

Answer 2

To show collections into database from mongo shell :

db.getCollectionNames()

So to show collection in mongoskin try that

var collections = db.collections();
collections.each(function(err, collection) {
    console.log(collection);
});
