Prompt API

Another window can open a node-mongo-admin's window to prompt the user for one or many ids.

Example:

var promptWindow = window.open(baseUrl + '?promptOne')
window.onmessage = function (event) {
	if (event.source === promptWindow) {
		console.log(event.data)
	}
}

Use browser APIs (like window.open() or <iframe>) to render frame with the interface. Append '?promptOne' or '?promptMany' to the end of the URL to activate prompt mode. In this mode, the user can only make simple queries and have access to the "Return selected" button.

When the user clicks that button, the child window will emit a message to the opener window with data in the following format:

{
	"type": "return-selected",
	"connection": "connection name",
	"collection": "collection name",
	"ids": ["id1", "id2", "id3"]
}

Note that ids is an array, even in the promptOne mode. In this case, it'll have only one element.

You can also provide initial values for the connection and collection fields in the URL with: ?promptOne&connection-name&collection-name
