2,772 PointsIs there another way to insert data in a MongoDB document?
So I am making a site where there is a mongo database of a bunch of video games and their characteristics. I really do not want to insert every one of these through my terminal or dev console on chrome. I feel these way are very inefficient, and the data doesn't even seem to stay with the project. An example would be if I had the project on Github and forwarded it to a c9.io project, the database would not come with it. How should I go about solving these problems?
