Yes there is.

Mongodb in MONGO term. returns an array of strings:

Db.getCollectionNames ()
["System.indexes", "threads"]

In node script return:

console.log(util.inspect(names)); => [ { name: 'test.threads' }, { name: 'test.system.indexes' } ]

Once more many thanks for your show. Take care.

mongoose.connection.on('open', function (ref) { mongoose.connection.db.collections(function(error, collections) { if (error) { throw new Error(error); } else { collections.map(function(collection) { console.log('found collection %s', collection.s.name); }); } });

is the new name now listCollections ?
