Problem

You want to explore the dev environment database.

Explore the coco db with the MongoDB client of your choice.

Having set up MongoDB on your machine, you should have the command line client set up. To use that:

Make sure your db is running. See Dev Setup
Run mongo in your terminal. This will start the client, and connect to your local mongodb instance by default.
Run use coco. This will switch to the dev environment's database.

That's it! You can now use any MongoDB commands.

show collections: List all collections in the current db
db.users.find(): List all users.
db.levels.find({type: 'hero'}): List levels of type hero.
db.users.find({name: {$exists: true}}, {name: 1}): Get all users with names, and only include names.
