DBIO

✓ import DBIO from 'mongodb-io'

✗ const DBIO = require('mongodb-io')

The package is ESM-only as of published version; does not export a CommonJS module.

Exports a single MongoDB database to a tar.gz file using default config.

import DBIO from 'mongodb-io'; const config = { host: '127.0.0.1', port: 27017, user: process.env.MONGO_USER ?? '', password: process.env.MONGO_PASS ?? '', out: 'backup', drop: false }; (async () => { try { const filePath = await DBIO.export({ config, dbs: ['myDatabase'] }); console.log('Backup created at:', filePath); } catch (err) { console.error(err); } })();
