Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

PS: when I use “mgenerate” it says:
mgenerate is no longer included with mtools. Please use mgeneratejs - npm instead.
Yes, and that’s why I used “mgeneratejs”
Hi @Hamid_Saadi,
You can pipe the output of mgeneratejs
to mongoimport
.
For example:
mgeneratejs ‘{“name”: “$name”}’ -n 1000 | mongoimport -d mydb -c mycollection
I recommend saving your JSON template in a file so you don’t have to worry about properly quoting/escapting strings in your shell environment:
mgeneratejs -n 1000 mytemplate.json | mongoimport -d mydb -c mycollection
If you want to generate test data based on sampling existing data, here’s a fun command line recipe combining mgeneratejs
with some other command line tools:
The above examples are connecting to a local dev server, but normally you would be including a --uri
parameter for mongoimport
with your connection string. For example, using MongoDB Atlas: Load File with mongoimport
.
mgenerate
is an older Python implementation that was succeeded by the more flexible mgeneratejs
from the same author. mgenerate
was deprecated and eventually removed from mtools in 2017.
