How to get mongodb version from mongoose

mongodb, mongoose, node.js

Solution

You can use the native mongo driver's `Admin#buildInfo` method for that via your Mongoose connection:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', function(err){
  var admin = new mongoose.mongo.Admin(mongoose.connection.db);
  admin.buildInfo(function (err, info) {
     console.log(info.version);
  });
});

Problem

Simple, with the mongo cli: ``` db.version () ``` How can I do the same with mongoose? How can I send a custom command?
