Avoid printing output in mongo client

Question

I work with a mongo client. Sometimes the output of some of the commands that I execute includes a huge output, which mongo prints on the screen. How can i avoid this?

Answer 1

There is a way to suppress output. Using "var x = ...; " allows you to hide the output of expressions. But there are other teams that are difficult to suppress, for example,

 Array.prototype.distinct = function() { return []; } 

This creates a print of a new specific function. To suppress it , you will need to write it as follows:

 var suppressOutput = ( Array.prototype.distinct = function() { return []; } ); 

Answer 2

In a comment from @WiredPrairie, this solution worked for me:

Just set the return value to a local variable: var x=db.so.find(); and check it as necessary.
