From .json file to mongoose schema?

I have a .json file that includes dictionaries(objects) and arrays.

Before, front-end just asked the the server for this .json file. But now I have added a mongo database. And I figured that it would be better to hold and send this data from mongo.

So I need to write a small program that would open my .json file, read it and store this data in mongoose schema.

What is the propitiate way to do it?

You could just store the JSON directly, but if it's a static file and you don't expect loads of them, then you're likely just introducing more work for yourself by setting up a DB.

However, if you really want to do it that way, this is the quick-messy-and-not-production-worthy way of doing that.

var schema = mongoose.Schema({key : JSON}),
    Json = mongoose.model('JSON', schema),
    toSave = new Json({key : yourJsonObject});

toSave.save(function(err){
   'use strict';
   if (err) {
       throw err;
   }
   console.log('woo!');
})
