How to execute nodejs file in shell script file

Question

My first file is run.sh another file is script.js

run.sh

mongo --username --password --authenticationDatabase --host --port script.js

script.js

require('../config/config');
console.log("came here");

But this is not working. i got error

uncaught exception: ReferenceError: require is not defined : @import.js:1:1

it might sound unreal but mongo does take a JavaScript file and execute it. docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/… — lastr2d2

There is no module loader in the mongo shell environment.

Config.js sounds like a simple file that contains a mapping of configurations, if that's the case, you can try load()

// script.js
load("../../config.js")

If your config.js requires other modules, it's a different story and I wish you good luck...

The mongo command starts a MongoDB database. To execute your script, you need to run the command

node script.js

instead.

If you want to run both, the database and your script, you could start the database in the background first before running node script.js by adding a & after the database call.
