On Mac what is the best Data GUI for Meteor and MongoDB? - mongodb

I have looked into a few different GUI's including Robomongo, but I can't seem to get it connected to my Meteor database. Can someone please tell me what the best GUI is to use and how to implement it? I can't seem to find any guides online.


To connect using umongo:
In your terminal, run the following (make sure you're in your project directory):
meteor mongo --url someappname.meteor.com
Note: This assumes your app is being hosted by meteor. If accessing a local db, leave off everything after --url
The output should look like this:
mongodb://client:1234-abcd-1234-abcd-1234567890#production-db-a1.meteor.io:27017/yourappname_meteor_com
In umongo, go to File > Connect and enter that string in the URI field. Hit Enter.
To view documents within a collection, navigate to that collection in the sidebar and highlight the collection you want to view.
To view all documents in that collection, click on Documents > Find. Leave all fields blank and hit OK.
I've found umongo decent for viewing large collections, but the Meteor URI expires quickly and umongo will start throwing errors.
NOTE: You'll likely only be able to view files for a minute or two, so while the above will get you connected, it may not be of much use for more than simply viewing your collections (why not use terminal at that point?). For that reason, I suspect imslavko's suggestion of using z-mongo-admin is going to be the way to go when/if the project matures.


If you need a UI to look at Mongo database contents there are couple of options.
If you want something Meteor specific, take a look at this atmosphere package: Houston Admin. It is a 3rd party package built by the community.
For more general solution take a look at genghis, ruby gem with nice UI.


I like mongohub on mac. Feels very mac :-)

Changing a text in multiple AEM pages at multiple locations

I have a website hosted on AEM. I want to change a text that is present in almost all pages (say I want to change my product name which is present in all pages) . How can i do it. It can either be a Groovy/Java code or an ondeploy script or anything else. Because doing it manually on all pages at multiple locations is not feasible. Will AEM Bulk Editor solve the purpose?
Its like Find and replace functionality in office

Yes, you will need to have a set of queries to find most of the references and then make a POST to these pages with the new value.
Example with: curl -u $USER:$PASSWORD -F"PROPERTY=new value" "http://$HOST/content/mysite/en/page/jcr:content"
Of course, you can do it with Java, Groovy (look for Groovy Console for AEM, which is very convenient), or even bash for simpler cases.

You can write a query using the query builder api to get all the nodes where your particular property is present.
Then once you get the path to that property you can update that using the node api.

Simplest CMS ever?

I’m building a super simple website with 5 pages and I want a CMS that allows me to change the text and the pictures in a couple of them.
In the past I used wordpress, but it has way too many features that i don’t need in this case.
I’ve been trying to learn gatsby.js so I would like to build it on that, but trying to see how to source from Netlify-CMS I started facing an overwhelming amount of information which I'm not sure I need.
Any tips?
Thanks!

Netlify has a built in CMS, and it's compatible with Gatsby! You can find examples online. It should be good for smaller sites, but for larger projects, I really like Prismic.io. Contentful is another popular one, but it's a bit pricier than prismic.
Edit: reread your comment about sourcing from Netlify. Netlify is not a "source" plug in in Gatsby. You use a local file +markdown source, and do the configuration for netlify, which adds an admin interface at an endpoint. You configure your data models in the interface, create login, etc. Then, when you submit changes, it modifies files in your connected git repo, so the local file + remark will make the data available in the graphql queries.

In the end I used Forestry.io, a good simple solution that did exactly what I needed in combination with Jekyll.

Laravel & MongoDB and an advanced role/permission system

I know there are a lot of role/permission packages like bican/roles or Zizaco/entrust .
They are great but I have two problems and those packages can't solve it!
I am using mongoDB and jenssegers/laravel-mongodb package which those packages do not support mongo.
And I need a multi-level/item-based role-permission system. I mean, for example: a user can edit just post 2 and post 3. NOT all posts!
So, I decided to develop that system myself, before starting it, I want your expertise to give me advice, useful links, articles, other packages, and anything which may help me.

you could use that it is almost like spatie/laravel-permission but for mongo db https://github.com/mostafamaklad/laravel-permission-mongodb
You just could create a permission with that post and give it to the user
or give it to a role and assign the role to the user

wiki iphone project

I'm currently working on an iPhone project where i want to present to the user spesific terms from wikipedia. I'm facing tow difficulties right now:
1. I want the specific content to work offline.
2. I want to show the relevant pictures as well.
I need to find the most efficient way to do it, can someone advise ?

You could get the content online and cache them in the app DB. If necessary you could prepolutate the db directly in you app. That way some terms would already be available.

How can I browse or query live MongoDB data?

I've googled around but couldn't find a working MongoDB viewer or data browser.
An ideal (for my needs) tool would be a web based viewer with dead simple features (browsing and doing queries).

You have :
Mongo3
futon4mongo

See: http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/334469038/a-couple-of-nice-gui-tools-for-mongodb
Hopefully it'll be updated frequently when new tools are available!
EDIT:
Better overview: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Admin+UIs
I just tried MongoVUE and it works like a charm!
Check it out: http://www.mongovue.com/

MongoHub is moved to a native mac version, please check http://github.com/bububa/MongoHub-Mac.

genghisapp is what you want.
It is a web-based GUI that is clean, light-weight, straight-forward, offers keyboard shortcuts, and works awesomely. It also supports GridFS.
Best of all, it's a single script!
To install it
$ gem install genghisapp bson_ext
(bson_ext is optional but will greatly improve the performance of the gui)
To run it (this will automatically open your web browser and navigate to the app as well)
genghisapp
To stop it
genghisapp --kill

https://github.com/Imaginea/mViewer
I have tried this one and as a viewer it's awesome with tree and document views.

Im just testing Rock_Mongo
It's a nice tool, written in PHP.

MogoVue is the best option I found so far, it has great features I did not see in other viewers, plus it gives few options to look at the data, as json, tables and hierarchy, which is extremely useful.
Avoid MongoExplorer, it has major issues, which can cause you huge headaches. When viewing records using this tools, it may change fields which are MongoId's to plane string, it does not give any indication on this, just does it when you focus on the id field, this bug cost me lots of time and effort trying to find "what and where in my code i'm doing this silly thing"...

RoboMongo
Genghis
And entire list from here http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/tools/administration-interfaces/

While the built in Http Interface of MongoDB isn't exactly what you are asking for, but it is available and supports a REST interface to do simple queries, etc. This is built-in to the mongo instance with a default of port 28017.
Documentation: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Http+Interface

As well as those mentioned by shingara, there's also:
Opricot
PHPMoAdmin
MongoHub (I've heard mixed reviews on this one, not sure if it's maintained)

Just pushed mongoclikker to GitHub. It's a dead simple MongoDB viewer written in Node.

There a lot of UIs on official mongo site http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Admin+UIs

To add to the list :)
I just made a simple Mongo browser based on a hierarchical JQueryTreeview and implemented in Sinatra and Ruby.
The reason for another viewer was that I wanted something that was fast and easy (both to use and the code base), that would let me peek at what was going on my MongoDB. Also, I wanted some nice Ajax effects. and could be the base of a more complete browser.
https://github.com/tomjoro/mongo_browser

I just released a simple web-based data viewer called Mongs. It isn't a server admin GUI, it's focused on data browsing, which sounds like what you're interested in. Mongs is implemented in Python using the Aspen web framework.

JMongo is nice db viewer using on fedora linux

I started work on small project: https://github.com/lucassus/mongo_browser
It's a mongodb browser based on ruby's sinatra framework.

here is the better tool for sql as well as No-Sql viewer and also you can query in gui mode with this tool.

"RoboMongo" is easy to use and cross platform, using on centos 6.2 but no option for data import/export which can be found in "umongo" but not easy to use as RoboMongo.

For web: genghis is simple and have much more fashion interface.
For desktop: robomongo: Shell-centric cross-platform MongoDB management tool

I'm using MongoDB Compass. You can download the community edition by entering valid information.

I using Robomongo, in version 0.8.3 implemented multiply inserting documents, for more details https://github.com/paralect/robomongo/issues/173. Robomongo also have builtin mongodb-shell may be usefully for your purposes.
