Import data from JSON

Hello @sedatio
I am not sure if you are still looking for a solution, but I am posting it here for any other users who might be looking for a solution to a similar import issue.
In the project RC4Community, we are doing something similar, importing the JSON data from the cms/config/initialData and then writing it into the Strapi Collections.

The part of the code which creates the collections is here,

github.com

RocketChat/RC4Community/blob/master/cms/src/fetchData.js

const {
  carousels,
  guides,
  persona,
  personaIcons,
  releaseNotes,
  subMenus,
  topNavItem,
  speakers,
  forms,
} = require("../config/initialData");
const { githubKit } = require("../config/github");

module.exports = async () => {
  try {
    var carouselCount = await strapi.db.query("api::carousel.carousel").count();
    var personaIconsCount = await strapi.db
      .query("api::persona-icon.persona-icon")
      .count();
    var personaCount = await strapi.db.query("api::persona.persona").count();

And the updated Stapiv4 Bootstrap link below, where the starting lines of code sets the Public Role for find, and findOne routes of API.

github.com

RocketChat/RC4Community/blob/master/cms/src/bootstrap.js

"use strict";

const { getLatestCommunityActivity } = require("../config/fetchTopPosts");
const fetchData = require("./fetchData");

/**

 * run jobs, or perform some special logic.

 */

const findPublicRole = async () => {
  const result = await strapi.service("plugin::users-permissions.role").find();
  return result;
};
