getting a single document instaid of many documents in the collection

[khawarizmus]

The following is my code at this point:

emails.ts

import { EmailType } from '../../../src/account/entities/enums/emailTypes';
import { getObjectId } from 'mongo-seeding';

const scaffolding: any[] = [
  // Admin
  {
    value: 'admin@email.io',
    type: EmailType.ACCOUNT,
  },
  // Retail
  {
    value: 'dolphine@email.io',
    type: EmailType.ACCOUNT,
  },
  // Angle
  {
    value: 'udan@email.io',
    type: EmailType.ACCOUNT,
  },
  // Sophisticated
  {
    value: 'arial@email.io',
    type: EmailType.ACCOUNT,
  },
  // Sophisticated institute
  {
    value: 'ferfour@email.io',
    type: EmailType.ACCOUNT,
  },
  // issuer
  {
    value: 'tertour@email.io',
    type: EmailType.ACCOUNT,
  },
  // institute
  {
    value: 'info@akatsuki.io',
    type: EmailType.COMPANY,
  },
  // company
  {
    value: 'info@haijima.io',
    type: EmailType.COMPANY,
  },
];

scaffolding.forEach((email, i) => {
  email = Object.assign(email, {
    _id: getObjectId(`email-${i}`),
  });
});

export const emails = scaffolding;

index.ts:

import { register } from 'ts-node';
import path from 'path';
import { Seeder, SeederConfig } from 'mongo-seeding';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';

register();
dotenv.config();

const config = {
  database: {
    name: 'test',
    protocol: 'mongodb+srv',
    username: process.env.DB_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    options: {
      retryWrites: 'true',
      w: 'majority',
    },
  },
  dropDatabase: false,
};
const seeder = new Seeder(config);
seeder.log('ready...');

const collections = seeder.readCollectionsFromPath(path.resolve('./db/seeding-data'), {
  extensions: ['js', 'json', 'ts'],
  transformers: [Seeder.Transformers.replaceDocumentIdWithUnderscoreId],
});
console.log(collections);
seeder
  .import(collections)
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Success');
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log('Error', err);
  });

When i run this code it creates a collection with the expected name but then it populates it with a single document containing an array of documents.

i was expecting to get each email to be a document on it's own. what am i doing wrong here?

Hi @gimyboya,
Looks like the problem is in the following line:

export const emails = scaffolding;

Please look into the docs https://github.com/pkosiec/mongo-seeding/blob/master/docs/import-data-definition.md#create-proper-directory-structure:

Without named export it should work fine:

• In TypeScript files (ts extension), use export = objectOrArray.
  (...)

  Array of objects

  export = [
      {
          name: "Dog"
      },
      {
          name: "Cat"
      }
  ]

Let me know if it works for you. Cheers!

Thank you for the assistance.
Closing this since it's working fine right now after using the suggested syntax
