gulp-mongodb-data

Load JSON files and mongoexport dumps into MongoDB with Gulp

Information

Usage

Install

$ npm install gulp-mongodb-data --save-dev

Example

var gulp = require('gulp')
var mongodbData = require('gulp-mongodb-data')

// Load JSON files, with arrays of objects, or data dumps from mongoexport,
// into the specified MongoDB server, using file names as collection names
gulp.task('metadata', function() {
  gulp.src('./db/metadata/*.json')
    .pipe(mongodbData({
      mongoUri: 'mongodb://localhost',
      databaseName: 'mydb'
    }))
})

// Load JSON files, with arrays of objects, or data dumps from mongoexport,
// into the specified MongoDB server, using file names as collection names,
// and retain the _id data type (useful for when using strings or numbers as
// _id)
gulp.task('metadata', function() {
  gulp.src('./db/metadata/*.json')
    .pipe(mongodbData({
      mongoUri: 'mongodb://localhost',
      databaseName: 'mydb',
      idAsObjectID: false
    }))
})

// Load JSON file, with array of objects, or data dumps from mongoexport,
// into the specified MongoDB server, using the specified collection name
gulp.task('metadata', function() {
  gulp.src('./db/metadata/users-test.json')
    .pipe(mongodbData({
      mongoUri: 'mongodb://localhost',
      databaseName: 'mydb',
      collectionName: 'users'
    }))
})

// Load JSON file, with array of objects, or data dumps from mongoexport,
// into the specified MongoDB server, using the specified collection name,
// and dropping the collection before bulk inserting data
gulp.task('metadata', function() {
  gulp.src('./db/metadata/users-test.json')
    .pipe(mongodbData({
      mongoUri: 'mongodb://localhost',
      databaseName: 'mydb',
      collectionName: 'users',
      dropCollection: true
    }))
})

JSON files

JSON files should be formatted as an array of valid JSON objects for the plugin to be able to process it. You can even include a specific Object ID.

[{
  "a": 1
},
{
  "_id": "578611d17c8a27dd5b329fd5",
  "a": 2
},
...]

The _id field is usually converted to an ObjectID before inserting, if _id is a string. By setting the idAsObjectID option to false, you can use any supported data type as _id (except arrays).

[{
  "_id": "697d1942-47bc-4fc5-ac92-6e8b1dbb649f",
  "a": 1
},
{
  "_id": 13.37,
  "a": 2
},
{
  "_id": true,
  "a": 3
},
...]

JSON files containing data dumps from mongoexport can also be used.

{"_id":{"$oid":"5787d450596cca272cab90ba"},"first":"Brian","last":"Flanagan","birthdate":{"$date":"1962-07-03T00:00:00.000Z"},"appearance":1,"male":true}
{"_id":{"$oid":"5787d450596cca272cab90bb"},"first":"Doug","last":"Coughlin","birthdate":{"$date":"1947-06-23T00:00:00.000Z"},"appearance":2,"male":true}
{"_id":{"$oid":"5787d450596cca272cab90bc"},"first":"Jordan","last":"Mooney","birthdate":{"$date":"1963-10-06T00:00:00.000Z"},"appearance":3,"male":false}
