Using underscore.js while scripting mongodb shell.

gistfile1.txt

MongoDB provides a Javascript shell. But Javascript is no fun without underscore.js 

Turned out its straight forward to use underscore.js while scripting mongodb.

Here are the steps.

1) Use underscore to write your db script file (say my_commands.js)

       E.g: _.each(db.dbname.find().toArray(), function(itm) { ... })

2) Download underscore.js and run...

      %mongo server:27017/dbname underscore.js my_commands.js

OR if you just want undrescore.js in your shell prompt

     %mongo server:27017/dbname underscore.js --shell

Thanks, I was looking for how to do this, this is awesome!

Thank you so much, this is gold!

Amazing. Thank you!
