MongoDbPopulator

================

It lets to load fixtures for MongoDB on NodeJS. The fixtures can be specified as json files in a folder, or as Javascript objects.

# Install

```

npm install mongo-db-populator

```

# Fill the database by Javascript object

1. Import the module

```

var DbPopulator=require('mongo-db-populator')

```

2. Create an object whose keys are the collection names, the values are arrays representing the objects to be load

```

var collectionsToBeLoaded={

	greetings: [{

		'g1': 'ciao'

	}, {

		'g2': 'ola'

	}]

}

```

3. Initialize  DbPopulator (specifying the parameters for the mongodb connection and the data to be loaded) and execute it

```

new DbPopulator({

	databaseName: 'dbPopulatorTest',

	data: collectionsToBeLoaded,

	user: 'user',

	password: 'pwd'

}).execute().then(function(){

	console.log('Done!')

})

```

# Fill the database by js files

Like the previuos example, but in the point 3 specify the `data` parameter as a string representing the path to the folder containing data to be loaded. Example:

```

new DbPopulator({

        databaseName: 'dbPopulatorTest',

        data: path.resolve('./fixtures'),

        user: 'user',

        password: 'pwd'

}).execute().then(...)

```

where the folder './fixtures' contains js files.

An example of the content of a js file is:

```

module.exports.greetings=[{

	"g1": "ciao"

}, {

	"g2": "ola"

},{

	"g3": "hi"

}]

```

Check the test cases to see details about the examples.
