This application uses MongoDB to store the data for our simple "Photos of People" application. To run it (and see pages), you'll need to have a MongoDB database available that contains some application data. This repository contains a file called mongo-db-init.json that you can use to initialize your own database with some data to power this application. You can import it into your own database using the mongoimport command. An example import command is below. Make sure you import the data into the people collection in your database. Make sure also to specify the --jsonArray option, since the data is stored as individual documents in a JSON array.

mongoimport --host classmongo.engr.oregonstate.edu \
  --username YOUR_MONGODB_USERNAME                 \
  --db YOUR_MONGODB_DB_NAME                        \
  --password YOUR_MONGODB_PASSWORD                 \
  --collection people --jsonArray  mongo-db-init.json

Note that you can omit the --password option to be prompted for your password.
