Simple web app to browse a MongoDB database and make changes to it. With user access management.

A simple web app to browse through and query MongoDB databases.

With user access management.

I built this app to be able to more easily manage access of certain users to the database. Because it now does almost the same as other MongoDB explorers, I just use is as a simple explorer myself. Feel free to contribute to it if you think it is missing something :)

Features

• Browse through databases, collections, and documents
• Expandable documents for better readability
• Run queries on collections including projection and limit fields
• Update queried documents by clicking on their values
• Replica set support
• Remembers last used query per collection
• Installable as a PWA
• Discord webhook support for logging queries by users
• Custom branding name
• User access management
  • Add unlimited web app users (without creating database users)
  • Allow users which databases to access (only read or read/write)
  • Decide which collections to show/hide from each user
  • Limit users amount of read/write queries per 24 hours per database

Missing / TODO

• Support for inserting new documents
• Support for deleting documents
• Support for running queries like in shell (including aggregation)
• Support for other value types (apart from String, Int, Float, Boolean, Array and Object)
• Increasing user limits for one day upon request
