Syncs the data from the JSON files in this repository to a MongoDB database.
This performs a one-way sync from JSON files --> MongoDB database.
Note: this uses the generated data files, not the source data. The generated data is files are created by running the build command. This adds various computed properties to the data that are not included in the source data. The generated data is stored outside the root of this repository. You can change the location where generated data files are stored via the config.dataDir.generated.
Before running this command, make sure you run the build command to create / update the generated data files.
