Utils for Backup & Restore data from API Baas

There are 3 utils in this repo,

1. Download / Backup the API Bass content
2. Cleanup an Existing Org / App in API Baas
3. Upload data to an API Baas Org / App

Usage

#Edit config.js

var config = {} ;

config.org = 'yourOrg';
config.app = 'yourApp';
config.uri = "http://api.usergrid.com" ;
module.exports = config ;

#Give Permissions for the client In API Baas, add "/**" permission to the Role "Guest"

#Sample

#Download/Backup

npm install request
node download.js

#Cleanup

node cleanup

#Upload

node upload.js

#Tip While uploading, you may not need the following collections - roles, notifiers, receipts, notifications

So, if you do not need some collections to be uploaded to the API Baas, simple delete the corresponding files from data/{collection}.json

How it Works?

It uses the API Baas APIs to perform these tasks

1. Read /org/app -> It returns metadata about Collections in the org, with the count

2. Iterate each collection , /org/app/collection - to download all entities [it paginates, with page size of 1000]

3. Store the collection array in a file data/collection.json

4. Upload uses these files as source for data

5. Uses the API POST /org/app/collection, with the entire array. [usually worked for more then 1000 elements, We could batch it with a size of 1000 - let me know if you think this is the case]

6. Cleanup again uses the API to delete all entities in a collection

TODO:

We could even retain all the UUIDs and the Connections, but it will take much longer time to migrate, but it will be worth a try
