Can I use this skill to import data from external files?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for importing data from JSON and CSV files, including logic for checking existing records to ensure idempotency.

Where are the data files and runners stored?

Repeatable seeds are stored in db/seeds/, data factories are placed in db/resources/, and one-off migration or import scripts are generated in the scripts/ directory.

How does the skill handle MongoDB connections?

The generated scripts utilize the runScript function from the express-goodies library, which automatically handles connecting to the database, executing the script logic, and safely disconnecting upon completion.

Does it support bulk database operations?

Absolutely. It generates templates using insertMany for high-performance bulk seeding and individual create/update loops for scripts requiring complex validation hooks.

Database Management

Automates the generation of database seed files and migration scripts for Express.js and MongoDB applications.

The Database Seed & Script Generator is a specialized skill designed to streamline data management within Express.js ecosystems. It provides a standardized framework for creating repeatable seed runners in a numbered sequence and standalone scripts for one-off tasks like data imports, schema migrations, or bulk updates. By leveraging pre-defined templates and the express-goodies utility, it ensures consistent database connection handling and clean project architecture, making it easy for developers to populate environments or transform production data safely.
