DocumentDB for VS Code focuses on providing developer productivity features with minimal setup.

Open Development

We believe in building in the open. All development, roadmap planning, and feature discussions happen publicly on GitHub. Your feedback, contributions, and ideas shape the future of the extension.

Prerequisites

  • Mongo Shell Requirement (Optional): Some advanced commands in the Mongo scrapbook, as well as use of the MongoDB shell, require installing MongoDB shell.

Known Issues

Here are some known issues and limitations to be aware of when using the DocumentDB VS Code extension:

  • Escaped Characters in Scrapbooks: Scrapbook support for escaped characters is preliminary. Use double escaping for newlines (\\n instead of \n).
