================================================================================
Monfield is a tool for automating the update of a specific field in specific record. The fields to query by and to update are read from a CSV file, and the updates are written to a JavaScript file, that gets executed on a remote mongo instance.
Monfield requires the presence of the MongoDB CLI Client mongo to execute
database update operations. Please make sure that your mongo client version
matches your database server version. Monfield was tested with versions
3.6 and 4.0 of the mongo shell and database.
Additionally, it requires csvkit to handle CSV files, specifically the
csvcut, csvsql, and csvjson utilities. It was tested on Debian with
the csvkit-1.0.2-1 package.
USAGE:
monfield [REQUIRED-ARGUMENTS] [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION:
monfield is a tool for automating the update of a specific field in
specific record. The fields to query by and to update are read from
a CSV file, and the updates are chunked into a number of JavaScript
files, and then are executed on a remote mongo instance.
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:
--hostname ................ URL for the database, as host:port
--authentication-database . authentication database
--username ................ username to authenticate as
--database-name ........... database in which the migration will run
--collection-name ......... collection in which the migration will run
--migration-file .......... CSV file that contains the field definitions
--delimiter ............... Delimiting character of the input CSV file.
Will be inferred if not provided.
--quotechar ............... Character used to quote strings in the
input CSV file. Will be inferred if not
provided.
--output-js-folder ........ path where the JS batch scripts will be
created. The scripts will be executed at
the end if --dryrun was not supplied.
The folder must not exist, as it will be
created by this script.
OPTIONS:
-h, --help ................ print this help message
--dryrun .................. print the mongo scripting calls instead
of executing them
--query-value-constructor . constructor name to be called on every
query value, e.g. passing ObjectId will
call ObjectId("query-value") on query
values (Not passing this option means
that all query values are passed
literally)
--update-value-constructor constructor name to be called on every
update value e.g. passing ISODate will
call ISODate("update-value") on update
values (Not passing this option means
that all query values are passed
literally)
MIGRATION FILE:
The migration file is a CSV file which is structured as follows:
query-field,update-field
query-value,update-value
query-value,update-value
query-value,update-value
...
For each row containing a [query-value]-[update-value] pair, an
update is executed; we find records where [query-field] is
[query-value] and set their [update-field] to [update-value].
This CSV file contains pairs of _id and a date field. The first row declares the field IDs. The rest of the rows are query-value and update-value fields. Monfield will find records by their _id in the first column, and will update their date field with the new date specified in the second column.

To execute this migration call monfield like:
monfield --hostname localhost:27017 --database-name mydb \
--username admin --authentication-database authdb \
--collection-name b0a1f011-423a-46fa-3e7c-0u27b581b917 \
--output-js-folder ./migration --migration-file ./updates.csv \
--query-value-constructor ObjectId --update-value-constructor ISODateThis CSV file contains pairs of strings from a name field, and dates from a date field. The first row declares the field IDs. The rest of the rows are query-value and update-value fields. Monfield will find records by the value of their name in the first column, and will update their date field with the new date specified in the second column.

To execute this migration call monfield like:
monfield --hostname localhost:27017 --database-name mydb \
--username admin --authentication-database authdb \
--collection-name b0a1f011-423a-46fa-3e7c-0u27b581b917 \
--output-js-folder ./migration --migration-file ./updates.csv \
--update-value-constructor ISODateNote that unlike in the previous example, we don't specify the ObjectId query-value-constructor. This is because the first field this time is a normal text field, and does not require a call to ObjectId(). We still specify the ISODate update-value-constructor because our update values in the second column are date values.
