Import Census boundary GeoJSON into MongoDB

To run:

Edit the Bower dependencies in bower.json, i.e.:

"dependencies": {
  "nz_area_units_geojson":
"[email protected]:nzherald/nz_area_units_geojson.git#~1.0.0"
}

then bower install

then node index.js

Importing may take some time.

How does this work?

I've been using QGIS to export Census shapefiles as GeoJSON, and include a bower.json component definition. This script assumes a naming structure of nz_[type of area]_geojson/geojson/*.json.

For example: Area Units

Why is there a geojson folder inside the repo?

Because Github truncates large file lists.

Why would anyone want to use this?

If you use MongoDB and want to do spatial queries, this can be useful.
