#The code to accompany the Spatial Node Mongo blog piece

This code actually belongs to a blog piece written on OpenShift.com

========

Create an account at https://www.openshift.com

Create a Node.js application with MongoDB

rhc app create nodews nodejs-0.10 mongodb-2 --from-code=https://github.com/openshift-quickstart/openshift-mongo-node-express-example.git

By default flag --from-code will add this repository as an upstream, which can be use later to pull updates.

Now, ssh into the application.

rhc ssh

Add the data to a collection called parkpoints:

mongoimport -d nodews -c parkpoints --type json --file $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/parkcoord.json  -h $OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_HOST  -u admin -p $OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_PASSWORD

Create the spatial index on the documents:

mongo
use nodews
db.parkpoints.ensureIndex( { pos : "2d" } );

Once the data is imported you can now checkout your application at:

http://nodews-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/ws/parks
