How to Loop Through a CSV Array and Update MongoDB in Node.js Using Async Operations

When developing applications that need to work with data in both CSV file format and MongoDB, a common challenge arises: how to efficiently read data from a CSV, transform it into JSON format, and then update a MongoDB database. If you're encountering issues, particularly with asynchronous operations and promise resolution, don’t worry. In this guide, we’ll guide you through a solution to help you achieve this effectively.

The Problem

You may have run into situations where, after reading a CSV file into a JSON array, you try to update the records in MongoDB based on that data. However, you encounter issues related to promises and asynchronous operations, which is common when using JavaScript’s async/await syntax.

Example Code Snippet

Here's a simplified version of the code you may have started with:

The challenge lies in the fact that executing database updates one at a time can be inefficient and lead to promise-related errors.

The Solution

To tackle this, we will introduce a method to execute all the updates asynchronously, making use of Promise.all() which allows all promises to be executed in parallel. Here’s how you can implement it:

Step-by-Step Implementation

Read Data from CSV: Use the csvtojson() library to convert your CSV data into JSON format.

Connect to MongoDB: Establish a connection to your MongoDB instance.

Create an Array of Promises: Instead of awaiting each update call serially, push each findOneAndUpdate operation into an array of promises.

Execute All Promises: Utilize Promise.all() to run all the update operations concurrently, which speeds up the process significantly.

Updated Code Example

Here is an updated version of your updateData function with the changes we discussed:

Key Points to Note

Using filter: Adjust your query according to how you identify a record in your database (e.g., using NIK as a unique key).

Upsert Option: The { upsert: true } option allows you to create a new document if no documents match the filter criteria.

Error Handling: It's always good practice to handle errors gracefully to debug effectively.

Conclusion

By following this structured approach, you can read data from a CSV file and update it into MongoDB without running into promise issues or slow performance. Using Promise.all() for concurrent operations is a practical solution that enhances efficiency in data handling.

Now, you can apply these insights to your own projects and keep optimizing your Node.js applications that integrate CSV and MongoDB! Happy coding!
