Import and export data into mongodb using mongobackup. This grunt task is a simple wrapper around mongodump and mongorestore. It's a great way to configure your backups and share data.

This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mongo-backup --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mongo-backup');

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named mongobackup to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig(). This is a multi-task, so feel free to add as many configurations as you want.

grunt.initConfig({
  mongobackup: {
    local: {
      options: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: '27017',
        db: 'database-dev',
        dump:{
          out: './dump',
        },    
        restore:{
          path: './dump/database-dev',
          drop: true
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

grunt mongobackup:db:dump

grunt mongobackup:db:restore

Consult mongodb docs - mongodump and mongorestore for optional params.

NOTE: NOT ALL OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. Change to suit your needs.
