I have a collection in MongoDB atlas named callhistories I want to rename it as call_history. If I add the third option in my mongoose model as below :

const callHistory = mongoose.model("callHistory", callHistorySchema, 'call_history');

Would it rename my collection in MongoDB atlas or it will break my site?

Please Help..!

db.callhistories.renameCollection('call_history') use this to rename your existing collection and if you want to know more you can go to the official documentation https://docs.mongodb./manual/reference/method/db.collection.renameCollection/

You can use the renameCollection function of MongoDB to change the collection name.

for eg:-

const callHistory = mongoose.model('callHistory', callHistorySchema);
callHistory.renameCollection('call_history');

Use this if using mongodb nodejs driver:

db.collection(':podCasts').rename('podCasts');

The previous answers won't work if you have a special symbol (like above example) as your collection name.

you can do :

 mongoose.model('callHistory', callHistorySchema, 'call_history'); 
 //Here 3rd argument 'call_history': as collection name

you can also do :

let callHistorySchema = mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  number: String.
  ....... 
}, { collection: 'call_history' });

Hope this will help you!
