Seeding the Database

When running the website for the first time, you will need to seed the database with some initial data. This can be done

Note after development you may want to save the database for others to use. This can be done using the following command

mongodump --uri="mongodb://127.0.0.1/" --db=ecss-website-cms --out=[file path to ./data]
