MongoDB Seeder

Overview

This is a utility that allows you to seed a Mongo database with data from JSON files.

It is a command line application, called with the command mongo-seeder.

Argument Syntax

Any arguments that take data are expected to be joined to the flag with an =. Example:

mongo-seeder --name=example_database --glob="data/**/*.json"
mongo-seeder -N=another_example --files="data/file1.json,data/file2.json"

Options

• --name/-N - This flag specifies the name of the database to seed. Defaults to mongo-seeder.
• --files/-F - This flag specifies files to seed the database with. Expects a comma separated list.
• --glob/-G - This flag specifies a glob to use to seed the database.
• --host/-H - This flag specifies the host of the database. Defaults to localhost.
• --port/-P - This flag specifies the port to use to connect to the database. Defaults to 27017.

Filenames

This package uses the filename of the data file to determine what collection to insert the document in.

The convention is as follows: admin.user.json. Only the second to last part of the filename (dot separated) is used. This will be converted to Pascal Case. If underscores are present in the collection name, they will be removed and the first letter will become uppercase.

Examples:

admin.user.json --> User
admin.user_collection.json --> UserCollection
