Created because mikowals:batch-insert incompatible version constraint with Meteor 1.7. If it's ever updated, use that instead. Given usage, probably better to replace with native mongo driver insertMany + simple write fence.
##If you find this package useful consider commenting on the meteor/meteor#1255 to get bulk insert support directly in Meteor core.
#batch-insert
Meteor package enabling mongo driver insert of multiple documents.
#Installation
In your meteor app directory run:
meteor add hiveteams:batch-insert
#Usage
The package creates a batchInsert() function on each collection instance. It is designed to work just like insert() but takes an array of objects to be inserted rather than a single object.
// on server and client
Data = new Meteor.Collection('data');
// must have an allow function on server to use batchInsert() on client.
Data.allow({
insert: function(){ return true };
});
// on server or client
var newIds = Data.batchInsert([{item: junk},{item: garbage}]); // returns array of created _id values
// use asynchronously on client or server.
// On client it also synchronously returns _ids just like Mongo.Collection.insert().
var moreIds = Data.batchInsert([{item: junk2},{item: garbage2}], function( err, res){
//called with err or res where res is array of created _id values
});
Client side security is managed with allow / deny rules on the collection. There is no security on batchInsert() done from the server.
