Well, I'm no expert but here's a tip that might save you some time. I have a Drupal databae outputting valid GeoJSON data. Our data looks like this:
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [
-122.0570486784,
36.99607280576
]
},
"properties": {
"name": "Dean of Students Office",
"description": null,
"Food Type": "",
Update 5/1/15 - On a different instance of Mongo, I had run the command noted below and got errors. However, this worked:
mongoimport --db mean-dev -c points --file "points.geojson" --jsonArray
Let me save you the hours lost in trying to figure out getting GeoJSON features into individual documents in a collection versus one document with nested features.
MongoDB 3.0.2. Valid GeoJSON file full of 809 features.
Using this code:
mongoimport --db test --type json --file ./'mobilemaps.geojson'
Importing to Mongo via jsonArray
mongoimport -d meanjs-leaflet4-dev -c leaflets -f name,coordinates --type json --file building-addresses.json --jsonArray
// sample file
// notes - coordinates needs to be bracketed to indicate an array otherwise we get string
// created - use a yyyy-mm-dd for basic entry
