As I was constructing the Sails.js application for the forthcoming Part 2 of my 3-part MEAN-stack series, I realized that I needed an easy way to seed the MongoDB instance on which my Sails app would run. In this particular example, I wanted to seed three collections (Movie, Person, and MoviePerson) in MongoDB with data defined in .json files that matched the Models for these collections I'd created in Sails.
So, how do we go about doing this in a standalone fashion using Node.js and Sails' excellent Waterline ORM?
