get-mongodb-version

library2.0.1jsnpmunverified

CLI and API to retrieve the MongoDB version from a local mongod binary path, a running MongoDB URI, or a Db instance. v2.0.1 is stable but low activity; maintained as part of MongoDB-js ecosystem. Differentiates from manual parsing by abstracting `--version` execution and server connection/serverInfo queries into a single function call.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import getMongodbVersion from 'get-mongodb-version'

✗ const getMongodbVersion = require('get-mongodb-version')

ESM-only since v2. CommonJS require will not work without bundler.

getMongodbVersion (CJS compat)

✓ const getMongodbVersion = require('get-mongodb-version')

✗ const { getMongodbVersion } = require('get-mongodb-version')

Default export is a function; named destructure fails.

getMongodbVersion (with Db instance)

✓ getMongodbVersion(db, callback)

✗ getMongodbVersion({ db: db }, callback)

Pass the Db instance directly, not wrapped in an object.

Demonstrates retrieving MongoDB version from a binary path and from a URI using the library.

import getMongodbVersion from 'get-mongodb-version'; // Get version from a local mongod path const path = '/usr/local/bin/mongod'; getMongodbVersion(path, (err, version) => { if (err) return console.error(err); console.log('Version:', version); }); // Or from a URI (requires mongodb driver) const uri = 'mongodb://localhost:27017'; getMongodbVersion(uri, (err, version) => { if (err) return console.error(err); console.log('Version:', version); });

Debug

Known issues

breakingv2.0.0 dropped support for Node < 10 and switched to ES module.

fix

Update to Node >=10 and use import/ESM syntax.

affects: <2.0.0

deprecatedPassing an options object with 'db' property is no longer supported; pass Db instance directly.

fix

Call getMongodbVersion(db, callback) instead of getMongodbVersion({ db: db }, callback).

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaWhen using a URI, the 'mongodb' driver must be installed separately as a peer dependency.

fix

Run npm install mongodb in your project.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe CLI command is 'get-mongodb-version' and may conflict if global install is not used.

fix

Ensure the package is installed globally or use npx.

affects: all

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'get-mongodb-version'

Package not installed or wrong import style.

fix

npm install get-mongodb-version

TypeError: getMongodbVersion is not a function

Using named import instead of default import.

Use import getMongodbVersion from 'get-mongodb-version' or const getMongodbVersion = require('get-mongodb-version')

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017

MongoDB not running on the provided URI.

fix

Start mongod or check the URI.

TypeError: db.admin is not a function
