Import more than 1 json file using mongoimport

I came up with a more elegant way to automatically import ALL collections:

ls -1 *.json | sed 's/.json$//' | while read col; do 
    mongoimport -d db_name -c $col < $col.json; 
done

I hope this is helpful.

Windows Batch version:

@echo off
for %%f in (*.json) do (
    "mongoimport.exe" --jsonArray --db databasename --collection collectioname --file %%~nf.json
)

You can do it by this way also :

for filename in *; do mongoimport --db <Database> --collection <Collection Name> --file $filename; done

You can always write some shell scripts.

colls=( mycoll1 mycoll2 mycoll5 )

for c in ${colls[@]}
do
  mongoimport -d mydb -c $c.json
done
