MongoDB management

nuxt-feathers-zod can expose an optional MongoDB management layer from the embedded feathers/server/mongodb.ts template.

This capability belongs to the OSS core, but it remains:

• disabled by default,
• explicitly opt-in,
• separate from your application business services.

Options

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  feathers: {
    database: {
      mongo: {
        url: 'mongodb://root:change-me@127.0.0.1:27017/app?authSource=admin',
        management: {
          enabled: true,
          auth: true,
          basePath: '/mongo',
          exposeDatabasesService: true,
          exposeCollectionsService: true,
          exposeUsersService: false,
          exposeCollectionCrud: true,
        },
      },
    },
  },
})

Available options

• enabled: enables the management layer
• auth: protects that surface or not
• basePath: REST prefix, default /mongo (normalized automatically: trim, leading slash, trailing slash removed)
• exposeDatabasesService: exposes the database list
• exposeCollectionsService: exposes the collection list
• exposeUsersService: exposes MongoDB users management
• exposeCollectionCrud: exposes CRUD operations on collections

Recommended positioning

Use it for:

• local or internal administration,
• technical diagnostics,
• bootstrap and maintenance.

Do not confuse it with:

• your application business model,
• end-user functional services.

Practical local bootstrap

To quickly run a local MongoDB compatible with your tests:

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod add mongodb-compose

CLI helper

You can patch nuxt.config.* directly from the CLI:

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod mongo management \
  --url mongodb://root:change-me@127.0.0.1:27017/app?authSource=admin \
  --auth false \
  --basePath /mongo

This command updates feathers.database.mongo.management and can also set the MongoDB URL when missing.
