MongoDB Atlas: Import data using MongDB Compas

MongoDB: Importing data into MongoDB Atlas

Pre-requisites

Instructions

  1. Create a json file containing the data you'd like to import (like the local module you're creating for Assignment 5).
    • Warning: MongoDB (and mongoose) assume you'll be importing an array of objects. Any other data types will lead to unexpected results.
    • A sample definitions.json file has been provided with this Gist.
  2. Add your connection string in Compass.

fetch: Asynchronous JS with async/await

fetch: Asynchronous data with async/await

Problem

When calling for data over the network in Javascript, the calling script won't wait for the data to come back. Instead, it continues to execute and any code that depends on the fetched data will return with an error.

Solution: async/await

ES6 added Promises which allows us to set "reminders" in our code that data is on its way.

ES7 added the async/await syntax that let's us use promises to "pause" our code for functions that are asynchronous.

fetch() using async/await

JS Activity: Form fields and DOM output

JS Activity: Form fields and DOM output

The following files contain code that runs when a function is invoked. Refactor each of these files so that:
