UX Improvements

Our goal was to simplify the UI and reduce the number of similar functionalities.

  • A single display mode is now available to save space on the diagram.
  • You can easily move an object including other contained objects at once.
  • We have also modified the grouping options and simplified the way to work with objects on the diagram.

Easier Arrangement of Contained Objects

In case you wish to automatically re-arrange contained objects, select a collection, right click on it and choose Auto arrange objects from the context menu.

Custom Color for Containment Lines

You can pick custom color for selected containment lines and improve the visualization of your database diagram.

Easy Editing of Contained Object Properties

Properties of contained objects can be edited on the larger modal form. You can easily define fields and field properties, set the color of the box etc.

Other improvements include the ability to display descriptions directly in the diagram.

Developed with Security in Mind

The development of Moon Modeler version 9 was mainly focused on security.
We have made a number of technical modifications and upgraded components to higher versions.

We managed to significantly reduce the technology debt
and ensure the correct behavior of the new version.
This could also be done thanks to improved automated tests.

Like every release, this one was tested using unit, end-to-end and specific automated and manual tests.
The development has taken a longer period of time, but it is consistent
with our commitment to develop and maintain a stable and reliable product.

Added Support for
MongoDB version 8

Moon Modeler now includes support for MongoDB version 8. You can easily create a connection to the latest version of MongoDB and visualize an existing database schema.

You can also create new schema designs
for MongoDB version 8 from scratch.

Enhanced Generation of Scripts

We have improved script generation and fixed several problematic scenarios, such as using 2dsphere indexes etc.

If you are working with custom templates, you can now disable the Beautify option using the newly added button on the toolbar.

Better Diagram Manipulation

We’ve added features and enhancements to make it easier to manipulate diagrams.

Now you can very easily move all the objects on your diagrams to the right and down. This way you create a place to add new objects to the left of your original diagram, for example. We have also improved the ability to drag the entire diagram.
