Import Pipeline from Text
New in version 1.15.0
You can import aggregation pipelines from plain text into the Aggregation Pipeline Builder to easily modify and execute your pipelines. Importing a plain text aggregation pipeline shows how each stage of the pipeline affects the output, and illustrates the effects of modifying specific pipeline stages using the Pipeline Builder's Output panes.
Syntax
The imported pipeline must be in the
MongoDB query language
(i.e. the same syntax used as the pipeline parameter of the
db.collection.aggregate() method). The imported
pipeline must be an array, even if there is only one stage in the
pipeline.
Procedure
Open the Aggregation Pipeline Builder for the desired collection.
Navigate to the collection for which you wish to import your aggregation pipeline. Click the Aggregations tab.
Open the New Pipeline From Plain Text dialog.
Click the arrow next to the icon at the top of the pipeline builder.
Click New Pipeline From Text.
Enter your pipeline in the dialog.
If you have a pre-written pipeline you wish to import into the Aggregation Pipeline Builder, copy it to your clipboard and paste it into the New Pipeline from Plain Text dialog. Otherwise, type your pipeline in the input.
Click Create New.
Click Confirm to import your pipeline.
Once you import your pipeline, you can add and modify individual stages and see the results reflected in the Output of each respective stage.
