mongoose export collection

Comment

//This code will read the documents from the MongoDB collection 
// (the export functionality) and then writes to a file as JSON. 
// This file is used to read (the import functionality) and 
// insert the JSON into another collection. 
// The code uses MongoDB NodeJS driver.

//Reads from the collection inCollection based upon a supplied query, 
//and writes to a file as JSON "out_file.json".

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const fs = require('fs');
const dbName = 'testDB';
const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017', { useUnifiedTopology:true });

client.connect(function(err) {
    //assert.equal(null, err);
    console.log('Connected successfully to server');
    const db = client.db(dbName);

    getDocuments(db, function(docs) {
    
        console.log('Closing connection.');
        client.close();
        
        // Write to file
        try {
            fs.writeFileSync('out_file.json', JSON.stringify(docs));
            console.log('Done writing to file.');
        }
        catch(err) {
            console.log('Error writing to file', err)
        }
    });
}

const getDocuments = function(db, callback) {
    const query = { };  // this is your query criteria
    db.collection("inCollection")
      .find(query)
      .toArray(function(err, result) { 
          if (err) throw err; 
          callback(result); 
    }); 
};
