In the shell I can do this: show dbs to list all 'databases' on the connection. How can I do this using mongo_dart commands?

In the shell I can do this: show collections (names) on a given database. How can I do this using mongo_dart commands?

I'm stumped, thanks!

After some googling and looking at the mongo_dart API and examples I came to the conclusion that it is currently not possible to do such thing with this library.

Thanks for researching! Have now have fallen back on using a Mongo_Ruby interface which seems to be more complete. Doing some pretty tricky things, performance seems great, but have not found commands to do these things directly yet either. Perhaps I can pull an old trick and direct some shell queries to text files and read those, but that seems like overkill. I still think these are basic commands that would enable better ("reflective") coding techniques. Thanks for the kind effort!

I've just added two helpers to Db class: listDatabases() and listCollections() Both return Future<List<String>>, hopefully that would be usefull to you. Effective in v0.1.40

Большое спасибо, Bal'shoye spaseeba. Should be exactly what I need. I am using Mongolab dbs like big "log files" of all db edit transactions (CUD). It looks like this is going to work out well as it is super fast and now I can use the same memory scheme at the server that I am using in the client.
