How to get mongodb version from mongoose

Question

Simple, with the mongo cli:

db.version ()

How can I do the same with mongoose? How can I send a custom command?

Answer 1

You can query the buildInfo directly from your Mongoose connection.

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', function(err) {
    mongoose.db.command({ buildInfo: 1 }, function (err, info) {
        console.log(info.version);
    });
});
