Allow provisioning from JSON files

[joelchrist]

Not really an issue, just wondering if there's an easy way to provision the Mongo instance with test data?

[roberttaylor426]

Hmm interesting idea. Do you have a proposal for how you'd like this to work?

[joelchrist]

@roberttaylor426 I haven't given it much thought, but my best guess would be some sort of configurable init directory. This directory could contain either .js files which would be executed by the mongo shell, or .json files which could be imported by the mongoimport command. I think the former would be better since we'd put the responsibility for configuring a database, collection etc. with the user.

EDIT:
The most important thing would of course be keeping the provision project specific, so a config directory of some sort is definitely the way to go.

[roberttaylor426]

Sounds reasonable. Would you like to raise a PR to introduce this functionality?

[joelchrist]

@roberttaylor426 I'll try. My experience developing Gradle plugins is basically zero, the same goes for Groovy. If it's anything like Java I'm sure I'll manage. I'll dive in and raise a PR when it's finished.

Great stuff! Feel free to ask if you need any pointers.
