Import JSON to MongoDB
Raw
importJSONtoMongo.md

*** Using mongoimport

mongoimport --db artmapr --collection arts --type json --file models/sf_data.json --jsonArray
  • cd /usr/local
  • RUN mongod (in separate terminal window)
  • ./bin/mongo

  • db

  • show dbs (lists all databases)
  • use artmapr (switches to artmapr database)

Here are THREE options to load data into MongoDB:

Client side: Angular level Automate lots of user inputs Server side: Nodejs + Express + Mongoose Define the schema in Mongoose, create the objects, save each one Database side: Mongodb Make a json file with the data, and import it directly into Mongo: mongoimport -d db_name -c collection_name --jsonArray --file jsonfilename.json
