Transfer a Mongolab Heroku DB to your local MongoDB

Add this to your ~/.bash_profile

function heroku_mongolab_transfer {

        URI=`heroku config --app $1 | grep "MONGOLAB_URI:" | sed 's/MONGOLAB_URI://g'`
        mongoctl dump $URI
        mongoctl restore mongodb://localhost dump/

}

Then use like this...

herokumongolabtransfer appname

It assumes you have mongoctl and the heroku toolbelt installed in your system.
