Call mongoexport from javascript Node.js

Question

I would like to export a Mongo Collection to an .csv. Mongo provides a solution for this but it is limited to the shell.

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongoexport/

I'm using the native driver for node.js and would like to be able to do this in a script as opposed to being invoked from the shell.

If you're just looking to run the mongoexport command from your node.js app, you can use child_process.spawn to do that.

Is there any way to do this from a client? If you're running mongo from a remote instance, you don't have the file structure to get the bin functions.

No, it's a separately utility and not supported by the node.js driver.
