Option to modify/view advanced connection #258

Closed MullinsN closed 3 years ago

MullinsN commented 3 years ago

Feature Request

Edit advanced connection string, instead of having to delete and recreate it because something isn't quite right.

Detailed Description

While trying to add a connect to the M121 course database, and not having at the time the SRV connection string (sorted now). I was trying to make to establish a connect through the advanced connection, using the information in the following command.

mongo "mongodb://cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-02-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/aggregations?replicaSet=Cluster0-shard-0" --authenticationDatabase admin --ssl -u m121 -p aggregations --norc

However, even though I could connect and view within VSC, I was running into a permissions problem when trying to run query's to test the connection. Which I was trying to resolve, but in the end lost the will to live, and tried to work out the SRV connection string.

mongodb+srv://m121:aggregations@cluster0-jxeqq.mongodb.net/aggregations

As with most things, easy when you know how.

Context

This is an ease of use function.

Possible Implementation

Make it available from connections panel, offer refresh of connection if a change is made.
