JSON Question
Mongoimport not adding JSON documents to db after import
mongoimport command returns with the correct amount of documents, and adds a new collection but when I try to open my db there is nothing. I am using a json array to store my data but am not sure why this isnt working.
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin>mongoimport --db playerList --collection data --jsonArray --file ../../../../../nodeProjects/public/data.json

[ "data" ]
and my data.json file is.
[{"name":"A.J. Green","team":"CIN","pos":"WR","weeklyPts":[{"week":1,"pts":6.3},{"week":2,"pts":10.5},{"week":3,"pts":34.7}]}]
Answer
your collection is data not playerList which can be viewed in last line i.e db.getCollectionNames(), change db.playerList.find().pretty to db.data.find.pretty()and it will work
