About project

The MongoExpressResourceNG extension was a mini project meant as a work aid, to make things faster and more efficient when developing an application repeatedly means opening and checking individual related records in the web interface of a Mongo database.

To open a record you just paste its ID into the extension's window, and the records it finds open in new browser tabs. If nothing is found, the user is told.

Alternatively, the extension detects individual ObjectIds or other attribute names (added in the configuration) right inside an open Mongo document and turns them into a link you can click through
 
In the extension's settings you can enter several data sources (databases) to search for the document with the given ID, and those sources can be categorised further into groups such as development environment, testing environment and so on - so a single record can be looked up and compared across several environments (databases)
