MongoDB - A Script to Create Indexes

New to MongoDB - at the moment I'm creating indexes directly from my web app however I want to instead have some sort of bash script I run (and more easily maintain) that can create my various text indexes for me.

Wanted to check is this possible? I'm unsure about how I would actually execute it if so - namely I have a Docker image running Docker - so do I have to bash into that then run the .sh? Or would I just specify the DB and collection in the script itself and just run it from terminal as usual?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can do it using java script:

var createIndexes = function(fullObj) {

        conn = new Mongo();
        db = conn.getDB(databaseName);

        getMapInd = null;
        setMapInd1 = db.testMappings.createIndex( { 'testId': 1}, {unique: true} )
    getMapInd = db.testMappings.getIndexes();

printjson("---------------------Below indexes created in Mappings collection-----------------------");
printjson(getMapInd);
};

createIndexes();
