Overview
Medic Import is a set of NodeJS tools to help you import your data into Medic Mobile. Importing is a two step process, first format and prepare your raw data then import it.
The following command line tools are installed with this package:
Getting Started
A new import project typically begins with a spreadsheet of raw data that you want to import. This might be an export from a database or maintained some other way.
Create a directory for your project:
mkdir medic-projects-493
Create your package.json:
{
"name": "medic-projects-493",
"dependencies": {
"medic-import": "latest"
}
}
Install the dependencies:
npm install
Project Templates
Medic Import is bundled with a set of project templates for common import
tasks. This is a good starting point for your projects. You can just copy and
modify these files in your working directory to get started. Each project
template also includes a Makefile so after installing you can execute make to
run the example.
Example:
cp node_modules/medic-import/project-templates/import-users/* .
make
