Mongo JSON Setter

A small utility to create a database with collections and documents based on a given JSON file with the wanted configuration.

Install globally with :

npm install -g mongo-json-setter

Use it with:

mongo-setup ./path/to/your/json

Pass --help or -h instead of the json to see the help or --example for a demo on your local instance based on the config file below.

Inside your config file you have to specify host and port of your MongoDB instance, along with the database name and the collections' array. Refer to the following example:
