Feature Request: Add ability to edit connection string
Add ability to edit connection strings tracked by this extension
Feature Request
Detailed Description
Adding the ability to edit an existing mongodb connection string could have a few boons for developers. One main reason is to be able to easily change passwords during password rotations.
Context
One project I am working on uses randomized passwords for local development. Another set of environments I connect to undergo quarterly password rotations for their landscapes. While I have a process that succeeds for password rotations it is cumbersome and a bit error prone due to the nature of the workflow.
Current Workflow:
- Find the connection in the "Connections" section of the GUI
- Copy/Paste the connection string to a text editor where it can be tweaked
- Update the password section of the copied connection string
- Delete the existing connection in the GUI
- Add a new connection using the copy/paste & edited connection string
Proposed Workflow:
- Find the connection in the "Connections" section of the GUI
- Select "Edit" for the connection string
- Update the connection string password
- Save the connection string
Possible Implementation
N/A: I've been meaning to look at the extension code and submit a PR but have not yet had time to familiarize myself with the code.
