How to pass argument to Mongo Script
Use --eval and use shell scripting to modify the command passed in.
mongo --eval "print('apples');"
Or make global variables (credit to Tad Marshall):
$ cat addthem.jsprintjson( param1 + param2 );$ ./mongo --nodb --quiet --eval "var param1=7, param2=8" addthem.js15
You can't do that, but you could put them in another script and load that first:
// vars.jsmsg = "apples";and getSimilar.js was:
print(msg);Then:
$ mongo vars.js getSimilar.jsMongoDB shell version: blahconnecting to: testloading file: vars.jsloading file: getSimilar.jsapplesNot quite as convenient, though.
Set a shell var:
password='bladiebla'Create js script:
cat <<EOT > mongo-create-user.jsprint('drop user admin');db.dropUser('admin');db.createUser({user: 'admin',pwd: '${password}',roles: [ 'readWrite']});EOTPass script to mongo:
mongo mongo-create-user.js
