The mongoloid crate exposes a basic API with which to build a Toghcháin
Éireann database in MongoDB. This is called through main.rs when the
program is executed. mongoloid will:
- Infer the type of database to build from the current directory name (
dail, assembly, or westminster)
- Find the
constituency directory and walk all its subdirectories
- For each direcory, walk all its
.json files and serialise them as native structs in Rust
- Insert all data into the new database
| create_database |
Create a new database in MongoDB. If db_name contains a value, it will be
be used to name the database, otherwise an unique name will be automatically
generated.
Note: the current directory name must be that of a supported election.
