Import Census boundary GeoJSON into MongoDB

To run:

Edit the Bower dependencies in bower.json, i.e.:

"dependencies": {"nz_area_units_geojson":"git@github.com:nzherald/nz_area_units_geojson.git#~1.0.0"}

thenbower install

thennode index.js

Importing may take some time.

I've been using QGIS to export Census shapefiles as GeoJSON, and includea bower.json component definition. This script assumes a namingstructure ofnz_[type of area]_geojson/geojson/*.json.

For example:AreaUnits

Because Github truncates large file lists.

If you use MongoDB and want to do spatial queries, this can be useful.
