A command-line tool to import CSV data into a specified collection in a PocketBase instance.
- Authenticate with PocketBase using admin credentials
- Read CSV files and import records into a specified collection
- Supports environment variables for configuration
- Handles errors and logs progress during import
Ensure you have Node.js installed, then install the package globally:
npm install -g pocketbase-importpocketbase-import -c <collection> -f <file> --url <pocketbase_url> -u <username> -p <password>-
-c, --collection <string>: The name of the PocketBase collection to import into. -
-f, --file <string>: The path to the CSV file to import.
Instead of passing credentials via command line arguments, you can use environment variables:
-
PB_URL: PocketBase instance URL (including port if necessary) -
PB_USER: PocketBase admin username -
PB_PASS: PocketBase admin password
Example using environment variables:
PB_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8090" PB_USER="admin@example.com" PB_PASS="securepassword" pocketbase-import -c users -f data.csvpocketbase-import -c users -f users.csv --url http://127.0.0.1:8090 -u admin@example.com -p mypassword- If authentication fails, the script will exit with an error.
- If the CSV file is not found or cannot be read, an error message is displayed.
- If the specified collection does not exist, the script will terminate.
- Any failed record imports will be logged with the error message.
Enable debugging by setting DEBUG=true in the script or modifying the DEBUG constant in the source code.
