Setting up the database

Convert the CSV data to JSON format using utils/coursesCSV2JSON.js

node utils/coursesCSV2JSON.js -i data/courses.csv -o data/output.json

Import newly formated data to MongoDB.
WARNING: this will drop any existing smu database!

# Drop 'smu'
mongo smu --eval "db.dropDatabase()"
# Import data to 'courses' collection in 'smu' database
mongoimport --db smu --collection courses --jsonArray < data/output.json

If successful, the console will display:

imported 2537 objects

Usage

Start the app

node index.js

Browse to http://localhost:8080/

Utilities

Course CSV to JSON

node utils/coursesCSV2JSON.js -i data/courses.csv -o data/output.json

Importing from JSON output file

mongoimport --db smu --collection courses --jsonArray < data/output.json --pretty

Adding --pretty produces human readable JSON.
Be sure to clear your collection courses in database smu before importing, as this will insert duplicates.
