Get started

NPM

// ES6 syntax (recommended)
import mongoDBExporter from '@tiagoboeing/mongodb-database-exporter/dist/mongo-exporter'
mongoDBExporter.execute()

// ES5 syntax
const { mongoDBExporter } = require('@tiagoboeing/mongodb-database-exporter/dist/mongo-exporter')
mongoDBExporter.execute()

Running locally

.env file is the default strategy to resolve values. When you pass a configs on execute() this will be used.
