Connect to the MongoDB Shell
The MongoDB Shell is an interactive JavaScript interface to MongoDB. You can use the MongoDB Shell to quickly and easily create, query, and update data.
Install a random data generator package
To generate large volumes of synthetic data for development and testing, install a random data generator on the command line. In this example we use Falso.
$ npm install @ngneat/falso
Run this script in the shell to generate your data
This script creates a dataset with 1,000 documents following the document pattern provided:
const falso = require('@ngneat/falso');
const data = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
data.push({
listing_url: falso.randUrl(),
summary: falso.randParagraph(),
property_type: falso.randAbbreviation(),
pricing: {
weekly_price: falso.randNumber({min:100,max: 1000}),
max_weeks: falso.randNumber({min:0,max: 52}),
extra_people_fee: falso.randNumber({min:0,max: 500})
}
});
}
use('airbnb');
db.listings.insertMany(data);Edit the JSON document to modify the data you generate.
Change airbnb and listings to customize the name of your dataset.
