How to print out more than 20 items (documents) in MongoDB's shell?

Question

db.foo.find().limit(300)

won\'t do it. It still prints out only 20 documents.

db.foo.find().toArray()
db.foo.find().forEach(printjs         


        

Answer 1

Could always do:

db.foo.find().forEach(function(f){print(tojson(f, '', true));});

To get that compact view.

Also, I find it very useful to limit the fields returned by the find so:

db.foo.find({},{name:1}).forEach(function(f){print(tojson(f, '', true));});

which would return only the _id and name field from foo.
