$ git clone
$ cd mongoose-to-spark-schema
$ npm install

// output to stdout
node index.js --model=./path-to-mongoose-model.js

// output to file
node index.js --model=./path-to-mongoose-model.js --output=./path-to-output-schema.json

Caveats:

• Remove all dependencies from mongoose model file (plugins, hooks etc.) except mongoose before running.
• Fields with type Mixed/Object cannot be handled in Spark StructType. Either remove or replace with the exact structure of the object in the model file.
