Can i export schema mongodb without value?

Question

I want to export a mongodb collection without a value, I've tried using the mongodb compass but it's not quite what I want

Answer 1

Unfortunately, that's not implemented in mongodump.

You'd have to make a full database dump, and trim afterwards so you're only left with *.metadata.json.

On the Linux / Mac / *nix command line, you can do:

mongodump --out=mydumpdir
rm mydumpdir/*/*.bson

You can then import it elsewhere using mongorestore mydumpdir.
