• make sure you have MongoDB, Node and npm installed on your system
• clone this repo to your system
• create a local Mongo database, or identify an existing one to import the data into
• add a .env file to the repo on your system and set your MongoDB connection string as env variables, named: DB_URL_DEV and DB_URL_PRD
A DEV db is enough to use the app in the development environment.
• in the terminal, cd to the project folder, then run:
npm install to install the node packages
• run npm run start-db (this will run mongod, and only needs to be run once, not at every import attempt)
• to start a data import, run:
npm start "<path/to/file.xlsx>"
e.g. npm start "./data/Test_Import.xlsx"
• two xlsx files are included in the /data folder:
Test_Import.xlsx and Tracks_Import_8.xlsx
you can use these or you can import a different file on your system (by passing its path when calling the process).
• check the log for info and errors
• some tests are included and can be run via: npm test
• you can optionally delete all imported tracks running:
npm run delete
