I'm new to this and am struggling to get over the first hurdle!
How do you import a json file?
I've tried 'mongoimport --db databasename --collection collectionname --file filename.json --jsonArray'
This has given me the error 'uncaught exception: SyntaxError: unexpected token: identifier : @(shell:1:14)'
Having done more research there's a lot of variations about mongo import but regardless I'm getting the same error!
Any advice would be brilliant, thank you!
First step for above 4.X.X versions in mongodb download the tools from mongo db site. https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/database-tools?tck=docs_databasetools
Second go to the directory installed usually C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Tools\100\bin
Third step copy import.exe file & paste it in C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin
then create a db "use restaurant"& create a collection "db.createCollection("rest")
new terminal as admin cmd type this command mongoimport --jsonArray --db restaurant --collection rest --drop --file "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\file1.json" note: this will run provided you have a json file "file1.json" in the location just change the location of your file.
