Import more than 1 json file using mongoimport

Question

I am new to mongodb and want to know about importing a json file from one server to another. I tried the following command mongoimport -d tes

Answer 1

I used the solutions here to add a shell function to my bash profile for doing this quickly.

My example depends on the mongo export outputting each collection as a file with the collection name and .metadata.json extension.

function mimport() { for filename in *; do collection="${filename%.metadata.json}"; mongoimport --db $1 --collection $collection --file $filename; done }

Use in the path of the export files, passing the DB name to the command...

mimport my_db

Will load all collections into the DB at localhost.
