Cannot return a collection data in mongoDB shell

[Osher Dukarker]

I am trying to return a collection data in mongoDB shell.

This is the commands I have entered in the MongoDB shell:

> show dbs

local     0.000GB

messages  0.000GB

restapi   0.000GB

> use restapi

switched to db restapi

> show collections

messages

> restapi.messages.find()
//The error:

2017-02-26T19:03:50.024+0200 E QUERY    [thread1] ReferenceError: restapi is not defined :

To show that I do have records in the messages collection, I am attaching a  screenshot:

What's wrong here?

Just got the answer.

I should write this instead:
db.messages.find()
