mongui

library1.2.5jsnpmunverified

A web-based MongoDB user interface inspired by RockMongo, providing a graphical admin panel for MongoDB databases. The latest version is 1.2.5, released with no recent updates (last release appears stale). It supports basic operations like viewing server statistics, listing processes, validating collections, and a field editor. It runs as a global npm tool with a built-in Express server on a configurable port. Minimal security, intended for local or trusted network use. No alternative UI like MongoExpress or Robo3T is more modern; this package is likely unmaintained.
