mongosh introduces a new API: config – Prints the current values of shell configuration setting config.get(key) – Returns the current value of a shell configuration setting config.set(key, value) – Changes the current value of a shell configuration setting Initially supported settings are: batchSize – The number of items displayed per cursor iteration enableTelemetry – Whether telemetry data is enabled (this is also modifiable through enableTelemetry() and disableTelemetry() calls) inspectDepth – The depth up to which objects are printed (this can be set to Infinity in order to print all objects to their full depth) historyLength – The number of items to store in the REPL’s history file. E.g. config.set('batchSize', 100) can be used to make the shell print 100 items returned from db.coll.find() in one chunk. Configuration values are persisted between sessions. This only affects the mongosh CLI and not the embedded version in Compass.
